The study of German from beginners’ to PhD level is offered at four universities:

German language courses at these universities range from A1 (beginners) to C1 (advanced) level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (levels explained here).

Courses in the German programmes include a wide range of literature, cinema, cultural, social and contemporary affairs, as well as translation and interpreting studies.
All universities have strong, active exchange programmes with partners in Germany (see here). Academic exchange is supported through a series of scholarships, including DAAD, PAD and university support.
