Studying without Language Barriers (S.O.S.)

Learning German in a peer-to-peer format

Even with a good general knowledge of German, for most international students the German language in courses and exams is a big challenge. In the S.o.S. programme, they study together with German speaking students in small learning groups and can practise their subject-specific and their general German language skills. The German speaking students support their international fellow students in understanding the course content and help them with language questions. For this purpose, they receive preparatory training as language coaches.
