Sprachenkolleg Freiburg

The Sprachenkolleg für ausländische Studierende teaches German in Freiburg for people preparing to study in the language. The school's sequence of courses, placement tests and final examinations gives prospective university students a route from their present level toward the German needed in an academic setting. Its premises are at 57A Kappler Straße in Freiburg im Breisgau.

Placement and university preparation

The school publishes its course levels and dates separately. A learner who already uses German can consult the placement information before choosing a level. This is especially relevant for someone whose spoken German is stronger than their ability to follow a lecture or write a sustained answer. The school also provides information on the DSH, a German language examination for university entrance. Students working toward that goal should distinguish their course timetable from the examination date when planning an application to a university.

Studying in Freiburg

The Sprachenkolleg is a dedicated language school. Its student resources include audiobooks, which give learners a way to continue listening to German between sessions. The Kappler Straße address, course dates and placement arrangements are useful starting points when comparing the programme with shorter German courses elsewhere in Freiburg.
