Certificate / ECTS
On sucessful completion of the course students will receive a graded certificate and 6 ECTS credits. Therefore you have to meet the following course requirements :
regular attendance (maximum absence: 12 lessons in total)
homework
active participation in class
presentation of a study relevant topic (“Referat”)
admission to and taking the written exam at the end of the course
Those who do not pass the exam and/or are absent for 13 lessons or more may still obtain a certificate of completion but without ECTS points and without grade.
Note:
However, this certificate is not a substitute for the language test, which all foreign students must pass prior to a full-time study in Germany (like Test DaF, DSH). Further information regarding this language test will be provided during the course.
