You would like to study in Germany but need to learn more German and take the TestDaF exam? The Intensive German Language Courses of the HAWK Language Center prepare you in the best way both linguistically and culturally for studying in Germany. The aim is to complete the course with the digital TestDaF exam, which entitles you to study at a German university.
Our courses are being held online.
Prerequisite for participation in the courses is access to a laptop/PC and a stable Internet connection.
The levels are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Our courses are taking place online. The courses consist of 24 hours/lessons per week (1 unit = 45 minutes)
We offer courses with the following modules:
Module | Duration | Units | Costs |
B2.1 | 7 weeks | 168 | 400 € |
B2.2 | 7 weeks | 168 | 400 € |
C1.1 + TestDaF preparation | 7 weeks | 168 | 400 € |
C1.2 + TestDaF preparation | 7 weeks | 168 | 400 € |
In addition, there is the TestDaF examination fee (210 €). This fee is determined by the TestDaF Institute and is paid there directly before the exam.
You will receive the textbooks and teaching materials from us free of charge.
Most of our participants attend the entire course, but you can also book individual modules. You can also join the modules of the current courses as long as there are free places. Feel free to contact us and we will tell you the exact dates of the individual modules.

It is important to us that our participants feel comfortable in our courses and that their language level is appropriate. For this reason we carry out a placement test with each applicant in advance. The registration process consists of the following steps:
If you have any further questions, please contact us at deutschkurse.spz@hawk.de.
Visas for entry to Germany are issued by the German embassies in your respective country. If you would like to attend a language course in Germany and take the TestDaF examination before beginning your studies here, you should enter the country on a study applicant visa.
We recommend that you register early for an intensive German course. The processing of visa applications often takes several months.
At the same time, you should apply for a study place at the International Office. When planning your time, please take into account the application deadlines for your studies.
After payment of the course fees has been received, you will get the confirmation of registration from us, which you will need—together with the confirmation of application for a study place—for the embassy.
Visa and online courses:
Our intensive courses are taking place exclusively online. Participation is therefore independent of your place of residence and therefore also of a visa. You can take the TestDaF examination at our university or at any other TestDaF test center. If you attend a course with us, you are guaranteed a place in the examination. You should try to get a visa for the TestDaF exam at the end of the course - and for your subsequent studies. We will issue you with a confirmation for this.
