Language Courses

There are various courses at the University of Salzburg that are offered independently of the regular study programs. These courses, such as the German language courses, are designed to improve the students’ proficiencies and are offered as an additional and optional service.
Consequently, participation in these courses requires service fees depending on the weekly workload!

German Language Courses

The Paris Lodron University of Salzburg generally expects all incoming students to have sufficient proficiency in German. This is not a required qualification; however, all potential students should be aware that the primary language used for coursework at the University is German.

If you are not yet at this level or would like to brush up on your German, the University offers German language courses which are taught according to varying CEFR levels of proficiency and run the length of each semester.
