German Courses

The HSNR offers preparatory German courses to refugees who have a university entrance qualification. Depending on the applicant's situation, the courses start at level B1, B2 and/or C1 and prepare for the DSH exam (German Language Examination for University Admission). The DSH exam takes place in cooperation with the University of Duisburg-Essen. NEW for NC-free Bachelor's degree programmes: (a) Participants of the German course are automatically guaranteed a place in an NC-free Bachelor's subject at the HSNR when they are admitted to the German course. (b) New courses start at the end of May (C1) and beginning of June (B2). To a lesser extent, the courses are also open to people without a refugee background.
