For the German course, 5 ECTS points are awarded after satisfactory completion

points are not cummulative, but you can join as many german courses during your
studies here at HTW as you want.

HTW?

Firstly we recommend that you take the german placement test, and if after thet
test you are not sure about your level, please feel free to join any german class that
you want as a guest student. Just come 5 minutes earlier and talk to the respective
professor and watch the class to see if it is suitable for you or not.

- Are the examinations too hard?

Not extremely hard, the main goal of the course is to encourage the german
fluency and not specifically as a mandatory lecture.

- Do I need to buy the book?

It is not mandatory, but very recommended. We know that the cost can be a
barrier for some students, so we made available at the library some books, but
