EBS Language Center

Nelson Mandela once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” We have taken this important learning into account since the foundation of EBS Universität – it is not surprising that internationality is a key component of our studies. With our language training, we prepare you comprehensively for your study abroad. Besides that, we support you in learning, further developing and improving your knowledge of foreign languages while you study. By obtaining an additional language qualification, other language areas can be accessed – thus simultaneously increasing the number of partner universities that can be selected.

Language courses

We offer you a wide range of language courses:

• Chinese, English, French and Spanish
• Upon request: Arabic, Korean, Japanese, Italian and Russian

These courses are offered at various levels as outlined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Regular tuition enables students to improve their language skills quickly and effectively. The courses run supplementary to the standard curriculum. In all courses, students benefit from the expertise of our certified language teachers and learning in small groups.

• German instruction forms an integral part of the curriculum for our international students in the Bachelor, Master and MBA programmes.

In addition to grammar and vocabulary, particular focus is placed on listening and speaking skills. An introduction to German culture further enhances the learning experience.

In all courses, students benefit from the expertise of our certified language teachers and learning in small groups.

Preparatory and Intensive Courses

Language and general aptitude tests should not be underestimated; they require a certain amount of preparation in order to achieve the desired result. We help you to maximize your test score and achieve success.

  We offer intensive courses at various levels to students interested in improving or enhancing their German language skills. The intensive courses in January and August, comprising half a level of language competence, are offered before each semester, which is particularly beneficial to our exchange students. The summer school courses in May are more comprehensive and offer an entire progression level.
