Registration for the 2026-27 winter semester will be open from September 21 through September 28, 2026. If you have any questions, please email to: german4researchers@daf.uni-tuebingen.de.
4 Steps to Registration:
Step 1 Take the placement test at your current level and save your score (f.ex. by taking a screenshot). The test links will be available below in mid-August.
This test is obligatory for the Early Bird and Evening Classes – unless you are a complete beginner (= level A1.1). Don't be tempted to use aids like a dictionary etc! Its important to find the class that fits accurately your real language skills.
Please choose the test that corresponds to your level. Enter the password, and then follow the instructions. Duration of the test: 45 minutes (Test 1 and 2), or 60 minutes (Test 3). Please note: The test will start immediately after you have entered the password. You may take the test only once!
Test 1 (if you are aiming for a class on the level A1.2 or A2.1; previous knowledge 60 - 120 hours of German). Password: German24
Test 2 (if you are aiming for a class on the level A2.2 or B1.1; previous knowledge 120 - 240 hours of German). Password: German24
Test 3 (if you are aiming for a class on the level B1.2; previous knowledge > 240 hours of German). Password: German24
Step 2 Fill in the online application form. The form will open on September 21 at 8am.
Step 3 After we have reviewed all applications, you will receive a message via email to let you know if we can offer you a place at your level, including detailed information for making your payment (80 € course fee for Master Students & 150,00 € for everyone else). Make your payment right away to secure your place. We will not confirm your payment - you are all set.
Step 4 Your teachers will contact you with details for your first meeting in class, shortly before classes begin.
Please note: If you withdraw from the course, we will retain a processing fee of 10 €. We will not refund the course fee if you withdraw after Tuesday, October 13, 2026!
