The lectures will be daily, two hours per day (excluding Saturdays and Sundays, when the group will go on excursions).
💼 What the programme involves
The basis of the lecture will be first: communication; and second: grammar. The teachers will be native speakers from University of Mainz. The language courses of previous years have all shown very good results. The volunteers are assigned to 3 language courses. Therefore, indicate your language skill in your CV.

Improvement of the existing skills is one of the goals of this course. B) Good German knowledge required (B2/C1). The language course will be „Deutsch für Ingenieure und Architekten“, with discussions on technology and natural sciences. C) Very good German knowledge required (C1). Improvement of the very good skills is one of the goals of this course. For all participants a training for writing and presenting applications at companies and universities is included.
