Our language courses are aimed at Thuringian students with the aim of acquiring credit points for their study regulations or fulfilling other study requirements. Unfortunately, non-students cannot take part in our language courses. Speech training courses are treated like language courses in terms of registration.

Registration for language courses takes place exclusively via Moodle. Registrations by e-mail will not be considered.

Unfortunately, guest auditor status is only possible for lectures, but not for language courses.

Students from other universities in Thuringia can find out more about a second student status by clicking on the following link.

Enrolment in the language courses takes place in three phases:

• During the first registration phase, from September 16, 10 AM  to October 1, 2025, 6 PM students who have already successfully completed one of our language courses and wish to continue at a higher level (A2 or above) can register.
• In the second registration phase, from October 9, 4 PM  to October 10, 2025, 6 PM, students with no previous knowledge can register for courses at the A1 level. However, registration for all other courses (from A2) will also be reopened during this period.
• In the third registration phase, from October 17, 4 PM to October 20, 2025, 6 PM courses with free places will be reopened for registration. Here, all students can register for any remaining places.

If there are still places available after the second registration deadline, you can also go to the first session of the course and ask the teacher for a place in the course.

Please note: Different times may apply for speech training, German as a foreign language (DaF), and English.

If you have any questions about specific language courses, please feel free to contact the teachers via email.

1. Enroll in the corresponding Moodle course room, enrollment key: SPZ_WiSe2025.
2. Complete the pre-registration and select your desired language level.
3. You now have access to the section for the corresponding level with the respective “Group choice” activity. Open this activity and select your desired course.

For more information, please refer to our guide to registering for language courses.

Please note:  

• There are special requirements for enrolling in speech training, German as a foreign language, and English courses.
• Enrolling in Moodle does not guarantee final admission to the course.
• Registrations by email will not be accepted.
• Be sure to attend the first class, otherwise you will lose your place on the course!
• Fair play – please register for a maximum of 2-3 language courses. Only choose as many language courses as you can manage.
• Check regularly for updates on the “News” pages for the respective language.
• The final admission to the course is at the discretion of the instructor, taking into account individual requirements (e.g., points in the placement test, field of study/phase of study, multiple enrollments, etc.).
