DSH Course Terms
New students are accepted for the DSH courses in January, April, July and October. A placement test at the beginning determines at which stage you can enter the course.
Depending on your previously acquired language skills, the duration of the preparatory German course may take a minimum of three months (applicants with level C1 CEFR) up to 12 months (absolute beginners).
