German Language Courses
Learning German is essential to help you integrate into society. Furthermore, having the skills to communicate in German will help you pursue internships or job opportunities in Germany after you graduate. We therefore highly encourage you to learn at least basic German once you arrive in Aachen, or even start back home before your departure.
Learn the lingo from home!
To prepare for your new life in Germany, we would encourage you to start learning German from home. How about a German word for the day, listening to a podcast during your daily commute, or even watching a German soap opera? These little steps will help build up your knowledge of the language of the land of poets and thinkers!

RoboSys Language Program
The RoboSys curriculum includes one half-level German course at the RWTH Language Center. RoboSys Students can attend and complete the German language course at the RWTH Language Center in any one of the four semesters of their study program.
The course level depends on the individual students’ German language knowledge.
Students with no previous German language knowledge start learning German at A1.1 level.
Students with previous German language knowledge must sit a German language placement test prior to registering for the German language course. The placement test is conducted by the RWTH Language Center. It confirms your German language level and determines which course level you can attend next.
German language certificates obtained elsewhere than at the RWTH Language Center cannot waive the placement test.
Registration and Enrollment
You need to register for a course during the registration period, which is usually late September until early October.
