Studying at the FH Aachen - Fachbereich Luft- und ...

The Sprachenakademie’s German
courses for preparation for studies are
designed for applicants who would like
to study at the FH Aachen. As a result,
applicants for German courses are
assessed to ascertain whether they meet
the requirements for entry to a course of
study at the FH Aachen.
For international applicants and
students, the Sprachenakademie also
offers comprehensive consultation free of
charge at the various locations in Aachen
and Jülich.
Sprachenakadmie offers courses and
examinations not only for German, but
also for English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese,
French, Italian, Greek, Turkish and
Swedish, as well as seminars in intercultural
studies. Specialized courses are
also available in, for example, Technical
German, Technical English, Business or
Presentation Techniques. Course and
certification offerings can also be developed
as desired for institutes and
interested groups throughout the year
and also when university is not in session.
Aachener Sprachsommer
The German courses offered during the
Aachener Sprachsommer are organised
by the Department of International Affairs
of the FH Aachen in cooperation with
Sprachenakademie. The course is about
three weeks long and is offered in August
and September. The classes are Monday
to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. On
the first day, each participant is assessed
through an individual interview and placed
in the appropriate level class. Students
and post-graduates from all branches of
study, schools and professions can participate.
The minimum age is 18.
Volkshochschule Aachen
The Volkshochschule (VHS) Aachen
offers a broad array of German courses
that will ease the way to employment
and making social contacts for both
students and foreign-language speaking
job-holders. The VHS German courses
also have the goal of conveying an
understanding of German culture and
social interaction to participants.
tandem language learning
A somewhat different way to learn
a language is offered through so-called
tandem language learning. It involves
a German student and an international
student becoming partners and taking
turns teaching each other their respective
native languages. In this way, both learn
the language of their partner and in a
very personal manner – not connected
with a course and totally without examinations.
The Interkulturelle Zentrum
Aachener Studierender (INCAS), an intercultural
centre and support service for
international students, can help bring you
and a tandem partner together.
