The Department of German as a Foreign Language offers a wide range of German courses for everyone connected to Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). The idea behind these courses is to give you the opportunity to learn German whilst in Erlangen or Nuremberg, or improve your existing knowledge of German language and culture. Some of the German courses are offered in partnership with the Language Centre, not directly by the Language Centre itself. As well as German courses, the German Department offers examinations for DSH and TestDaF twice a year.
