TGU’s German preparatory programme runs from A1 through TestDaF preparation. Your route depends on your starting level and successful completion of the required levels.
The level pathway
| Stage | Main focus |
|---|---|
| A1–A2 | Foundations and everyday communication |
| B1–B2 | Independent use and academic transition |
| C1 / TestDaF preparation | Advanced language and exam tasks |
Classes and assessment
- Attendance and level-assessment conditions apply from A1 to B2.
- The official page states 24 class hours and 6 hours of individual/asynchronous work per week.
- There is no separate level exam at the end of C1 or TestDaF preparation.
- After TestDaF preparation, students continue with Moodle materials independently.
Moving to the degree programme
Completing B2 gives eligible preparatory students access to TestDaF; it does not itself complete the proficiency requirement. The TestDaF passing condition must also be met.
