Registration for German courses

Our German courses are open to the following participants:

  • Students at public universities in Bremen
  • ERASMUS/Incoming exchange students enrolled at one of the four public universities in Bremen
  • Researchers and visiting researchers at public universities in the state of Bremen

We offer semester-long courses at language levels A1.1 to C1.1 of the CEFR.

Online registration for the 2026 summer semester German courses begins on February 23rd, 2026.

An overview of all courses can be found here: Language Center of the Universities in the State of Bremen (SZHB) 

It is not possible to register directly for an advanced course. Registration takes place in this case via the link to the placement test. Depending on the result, you will then be booked into the appropriate course.
