If you are interested in improving your German language skills you can now register for our Welcome Centre German Courses during the Summer Semester 2024. There are three different German Courses at three different levels available:
Beginner | Johanna Bucur | Tue, 16.04.24–18.06.24, 4 – 6 p.m. | AM SR 101 AM SR 201 |
Intermediate | Emma Hopper | Mon, 15.04.24–17.06.24, 5:45 – 7:15 p.m. Fri, 19.04.24–14.06.224, 8:30 – 10 a.m. | HK 14d R 127 |
Advanced | Dr. Sabine Rößler | Thu, 18.04.24–11.07.24, 4 – 6:30 p.m. | HK 14b SR 315 |
Please note that not all the classes are held weekly. Check the detailed dates on the course’s schedule, once you have access to it on Stud-IP.
Since the classes are designed to be quite open, participants can also take part in just one of the two sessions per week, for example. However, if you would like to receive a certificate of attendance, we recommend that you attend classes regularly. If you would like the certificate of attendance, please contact the Language Centre at the end of the course. If you are unavailable at the time and day of your preferred course, please let us know so we can find a solution (you can mark this option in the registration form linked below).
The German courses are free of charge. Please contact us if your spouse is interested in taking part in the German courses too. They will have to to fill out the form Registration German Classes SS24_Spouse, so they can receive a user name to access the course on Stud-IP.
Please let us know if you have children and need childcare during the German course. We will try to work with the University's family department to make this possible.
To register, please fill out the form Registration German Classes SS24 and send it to Samantha Pallack (samantha.pallack@uni-passau.de), Cc at researchmobility@uni-passau.de, by 15 April.
In case of questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Invitation to the next Welcome Centre's after-work networking event: Oide Dult
We would like to invite you to the Oide Dult in Passau on Tuesday, May 28. We will meet directly there at the Upper Archway of the Nikolakloster (NK) at 18:00.
The Oide Dult is smaller than the big Maidult, but maintains a traditional folk festival character complete with unamplified traditional brass band music beer benches under the trees, a variety of dishes and the swinging boat ride provide a nostalgic flair. Feel free to bring small card games that we can play together.
Please, send us an e-mail at researchmobility@uni-passau.de, if you would like to join.
We hope to see you at the Oide Dult!
