Registration for the 2025/26 winter semester is closed. 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 are no longer available.
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 your actual current language skills.
Please choose the test that corresponds to your current 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: You can only take the test 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).
Test 2 (if you are aiming for a class on the level A2.2 or B1.1; previous knowledge 120 - 240 hours of German).
Test 3 (if you are aiming for a class on the level B1.2; previous knowledge > 240 hours of German).
Step 2 Fill in the online application form. The form is closed. If you have any questions, please email to: german4researchers@daf.uni-tuebingen.de.
Step 3 After we have reviewed 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 all others). Make your payment right to secure your place. We will not confirm you payment - you are all set.
Step 4 Your teachers will contact you with details for your first meeting in class, shortly before classes begin on/after Tuesday, October 21st.
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 14th!
