Language requirements and language courses

Studying in Germany is the perfect chance to improve your German language skills. Exchange students should keep in mind that most courses at German universities are taught in German. Nevertheless, some study programmes are taught in English. So if you want to participate in your seminars and lectures as soon as you begin your stay at OVGU, you should get your German skills up to speed before arriving in Magdeburg.
