The IUCM offers German courses for language levels A1-C1 according to GER (Common European Framework of Reference).

The aim of the course is to prepare students linguistically and culturally for studying at LMU and for living in Munich. In addition to the general language lessons, you will learn vocabulary, grammatical structures and cultural particularities, which are especially relevant for studying. Improvement and consolidation of language skills in German are the focus of the interactive class.

A Campus Orientation is part of the intensive course. We encourage you to book the Excursion Program to complement the German class.
