The "German for Foreigners" language course programme at HafenCity University °ÄÃÅÏÖ½ðÍø_°ÄÃŶIJ©ÏÖ½ðÍø-¹ÙÍø is aimed at international students at HCU. Enrolled students who have obtained their university entrance qualification abroad and ERASMUS+ students who are spending one or two semesters studying at HCU can take part. If places are still available, enrolled students and ERASMUS+ students from other °ÄÃÅÏÖ½ðÍø_°ÄÃŶIJ©ÏÖ½ðÍø-¹ÙÍø universities can also participate in the courses. The language courses are organised in cooperation with the Volkshochschule °ÄÃÅÏÖ½ðÍø_°ÄÃŶIJ©ÏÖ½ðÍø-¹ÙÍø. You can find all information on the course programme, the dates, costs and registration on this page.
Unfortunately, HCU °ÄÃÅÏÖ½ðÍø_°ÄÃŶIJ©ÏÖ½ðÍø-¹ÙÍø cannot provide courses in other languages, such as Spanish, French, Italian for example. We recommend that students who wish to prepare for a stay abroad and acquire knowledge of the language of their host country use the courses offered by other institutions. The University °ÄÃÅÏÖ½ðÍø_°ÄÃŶIJ©ÏÖ½ðÍø-¹ÙÍø, the Volkshochschule °ÄÃÅÏÖ½ðÍø_°ÄÃŶIJ©ÏÖ½ðÍø-¹ÙÍø or the cultural institutes of various countries (Instituto Cervantes, Institut Fran?ais, Instituto Italiano di Cultura di Amburgo etc.) provide a wide range of courses, some of which offer discounts for students.
