Deutschkurse bei der Universität München

Deutschkurse bei der Universität München, often called DKFA, specialises in German for people entering or already participating in higher education. Its Munich teaching locations include Agnesstraße 27, where the association is based, Karl-Theodor-Straße and rooms at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität. An applicant should check the room assignment for their own group. The address on a registration letter may differ from the place where a particular class meets.

German for university admission

The programme serves prospective students, enrolled students and guest researchers. Intensive German courses give applicants a route to build the language ability expected in German-medium study. DSH preparation focuses more narrowly on the university entrance language examination. The association also identifies itself as an examination centre for TestDaF and other qualifications. An applicant can use the precise language requirement for their intended degree to decide which course and assessment to investigate.

There is a practical difference between needing to develop academic German and being ready to practise examination tasks. A student choosing an eight-week intensive route can ask what level of German is required at entry, when assessment is available and which results are accepted by the receiving university. Those answers are especially important when the language course must finish before a university application deadline.
