New students are accepted for the DSH courses in April 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). Failed levels need to be repeated, therefore the duration of the course can be longer.
