Our Intakes
January Intake (12 months)
For students starting at B1 level, this programme focuses on progressing to C1, with the option to reach C2 for advanced learners.
Students are fully prepared for university studies and have sufficient time for enrolment in the summer semester
August Intake (12 months)
For beginners starting without knowledge of the German language, this programme leads to B2 level within one year.
Graduates are well prepared for vocational training, further language progression, or continued academic preparation.
Both programmes are designed to align with German university and vocational training calendars and provide sufficient preparation time for applications and enrolment.
Flexible Programme Lengths
While our 12-month programmes provide the most comprehensive preparation, T5RA also offers shorter course options for students with specific goals or prior language knowledge.
Available options include:
- 3 months – participation in a single intensive language course
- 6 months – participation in two consecutive language courses
- All language levels can be completed at T5RA (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2), depending on entry level and progression
Shorter programmes are ideal for:
- Students seeking focused language improvement
- Gap periods between school and further education
- Preparation for continued language studies or future programme entry
- Students in shorter programmes can extend their stay or transition into a longer pathway programme at any time.
