The German Language Department of the ITU School of Foreign Languages offers elective, credit-bearing German courses to all faculty students, excluding those in preparatory classes. The courses progress from beginner to upper-intermediate levels.

Our courses aim not only to prepare students for the Goethe-Institut exams, organized in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), but also to equip them with the German language skills they need for everyday life and professional careers.

Registrations are carried out through the Registrar’s Office.

ALM 101 is a beginner-level course designed for students with no prior knowledge of German. Students taking German for the first time should enroll in this course.

Course Book

In our courses, Hueber Verlag’s Menschen series textbooks are used, selected according to students’ levels.

Students who have previously studied German can determine their appropriate course level by taking the online placement tests provided on the publisher’s website:
