Is there a German preparation course for the programme?

The Master’s programme does not offer German preparation classes. However, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin offers courses under the “German as a Foreign Language” programme at the Language centre. These courses tend to fill up quickly.

There are also options outside the university, for example, Goethe Institut (more expensive than in most other countries). Volkshochschulen provide more affordable alternatives. And, of course, there are many private schools offering German courses.
