Information for course registration:
Please check which registration process you need to use for your courses in the campo course catalog. The information about course registration and courses on offer is currently being updated. We therefore cannot guarantee that all the information is up to date. Thank you for your understanding.

Unless stated otherwise, please register for language courses via StudOn. You can usually register for courses, up until the first week of the semester. Most courses have a maximum number of participants (a waiting list is possible).

Registration for students with prior knowledge of a language

Generally speaking, anyone who has prior knowledge of a language must take an automated placement test. General information can be found on this page.
Preparatory courses in German are available for international applicants who want to study at FAU. You can only register for these courses once you have received your confirmation of admission from FAU.

Information on choosing and registering for courses according to language

German as a foreign language

Preparatory German courses (DSH courses)

Students who have already received confirmation of admission to a preparatory German course (DSH course) from FAU have to sit a placement test before registering. Prospective students can register by 15 March for the test in spring and by 15 September for the test in autumn, using the registration form sent out by the Admissions Office. Please refer to the German as a Foreign Language website for more detailed information.

German language courses while studying a degree

Students who are already enrolled at FAU (including exchange students) can register to take German courses alongside their degree. To register for such courses, students book on StudOn. Please refer to the Department of German as a Foreign Language website for further information.

English

English for Academic and Special Purposes

Students learning a language for academic or special purposes who want to or are required to attend an English course must take a placement test first.

Registration for courses corresponding to the level achieved in the placement test is via StudOn.

The test result is used only to decide which level of course students should attend. The placement test may be repeated once, but only before the first course has been taken. As soon as one course has been taken, all other courses have to be attended in the prescribed order.

English for students at the School of Business, Economics, and Society (Nuremberg)

Students should register via StudOn for English courses at the School of Business, Economics, and Society in Nuremberg.

English for Students of English Studies and American Studies

Please refer to the English for Students of English and American Studies website for information on courses and course registration.

French

French for Academic and Special Purposes

Students from all faculties who have no prior knowledge of French should register directly for elementary course I. If you have learnt French before, you must take a placement test and then register for a course according to the results of the test. Students who have already taken a French course at FAU and would now like to take the follow-on course do not have to take a placement test.

As a rule, it is important to register for a course in good time, as only 25 people can be admitted to each course. Up to five people can be added to the waiting list. Everyone on the waiting list should attend the first lesson together with everyone who has been allocated a place.

French for students of French Studies

For students of French Studies and French teaching degrees, the degree programme and examination regulations recommend a knowledge of French equivalent to three successive years at school or level B1 for entry into language practice module 1. Please take the placement test for students of language studies before you start your degree.

New students with little or no knowledge of French must contact the head of department, Dr. Corina Petersilka via e-mail.

Italian

Italian for Academic and Special Purposes

Students from all faculties who have no prior knowledge of Italian should register directly for elementary course I. If you have learnt Italian before, you must take a placement test and then register for a course according to the results of the test. Students who have already taken an Italian course at FAU and would now like to take the follow-on course do not have to take a placement test.

As a rule, it is important to register for a course in good time, as only 25 people can be admitted to each course. Up to five people can be added to the waiting list. Everyone on the waiting list should attend the first lesson together with everyone who has been allocated a place.

Italian for students of Italian Studies

Students of Italian Studies and Italian teaching degrees require proficiency in Italian equivalent to level A2 (Common European Framework of Reference) for entry into language practice module 1 as specified in the degree programme and examination regulations. Evidence of students’ existing proficiency must be provided by means of a placement test. More information about the placement test is available here.

Students who do not have the required proficiency when they start their degree can achieve the entry level required by taking intensive courses during the first winter semester. During the subsequent lecture-free period, students can bring their knowledge up to the required level by taking the first practical language course (Corso di Italiano intermedio I), which enables them to participate in the regular study plan from the second semester or summer semester onwards. We recommend that students take a placement test in good time before the beginning of the semester and to arrange a consultation with Paola Cesaroni Meinzolt.

Spanish

Spanish for Academic and Special Purposes

Students from all faculties who have no prior knowledge of Spanish should register directly for elementary course I. If you have learnt Spanish before, you must take a placement test and then register for a course according to the results of the test. Students who have already taken a Spanish course at FAU and would now like to take the follow-on course do not have to take a placement test. The same applies for students who have a certificate from the Instituto Cervantes or a certificate issued by another university proving their language proficiency; in this case, please contact José Juan Ventura Usó in good time.

As a rule, it is important to register for a course in good time, as only 25 people can be admitted to each course. Up to five people can be added to the waiting list. Everyone on the waiting list should attend the first lesson together with everyone who has been allocated a place.

Spanish for students of Spanish Studies

The examination regulations for the Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Studies and Spanish teaching degrees stipulate that students require proficiency in Spanish equivalent to level A2 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) before starting to study. Students must take a placement test to prove this level of proficiency. The test is not necessary for students who have a certificate from the Instituto Cervantes or a certificate issued by another university proving their language proficiency; in this case, please contact José Juan Ventura Usó in good time.

Any students who are native speakers of Spanish should contact José Juan Ventura Usó in good time before commencing studies.

Other languages

All information on other languages can be found on the department websites.

Registering for language courses at the Virtual University of Bavaria (Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern, vhb)

Several language courses are offered at the Language Centre based on material from the Virtual University of Bavaria. In such cases, in addition to registering normally as described above, you also have to register via the vhb website in order to be entitled to use the online material.

Fees

In general, courses offered by the Language Centre are free of charge for students enrolled at FAU.

The only exception to this are intensive courses for which a fee is charged. In addition, guest students and FAU staff have to pay a contribution as stipulated in the Fee Regulations of the Language Centre.

At present, the fees are

€30 per semester hour for guest students and FAU staff

€25 per semester hour for students for compulsory intensive holiday courses

Special regulations apply for preparatory German courses and for intensive holiday courses in German (see above).
