German Language and First Steps at TU Braunschweig

The International Spring School in March 2027 is aimed at all international exchange students and students enrolled in English-language degree programmes who will be starting their studies at TU Braunschweig or beginning their exchange semester in the summer semester of 2027. International prospective students who would like to get to know TU Braunschweig in advance are also very welcome.

Programme

Our Spring School will prepare you perfectly for your studies at TU Braunschweig. In our four-week programme, you can acquire basic German language skills or refresh your existing language skills. At the same time, you will not only get to know your fellow students, but also the TU Braunschweig campus, and you can familiarise yourself with your new home town of Braunschweig before the semester starts.

Our team will also assist you with all the bureaucratic steps: from registering with the city of Braunschweig to signing a German SIM card contract to any other questions you may have about your new home, we will actively help you.

Through joint leisure activities and exciting excursions, for example to Goslar or Berlin, you will experience German culture and history first-hand, be able to ask questions and, at the same time, further improve your German language skills in everyday situations.

The Welcome Week for international students starts immediately after the course. Here you can take part in further information events and workshops to ensure you are well prepared for the start of your studies at TU Braunschweig!
