The Courses

The German Intensive Courses will prepare you for your stay at the University of Münster. You will get to know the university in all its facets, discover our beautiful city (e.g. by taking a walking tour through the city centre) and learn what daily life is like for a student here in Münster (e.g. cultural offers, free-time activities, places to be etc.). Furthermore, we will, amongst other aspects, focus on formal talks with teachers as well as informal conversations with other (German) students about daily life matters and have a look at how to give a presentation in German.
