Information for the preparatory course in WS 2024/25

We would like to welcome you to the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Kassel and would like to provide you with important information in advance on behalf of the Spanish language practice. A prerequisite for admission to study Spanish at the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Kassel is proof of Spanish language proficiency at level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). However, in order to be able to study successfully, it is important that you develop your language skills quickly after starting your studies so that you can easily use Spanish at level B1, both to successfully complete the individual modules of language practice and to participate in the courses of the specialist sciences. We support you in this with special language practice courses, which are known as propaedeutic courses and are taught exclusively by native speakers. Within the first winter semester, you will reach level B1 through a combination of block courses and regular weekly sessions. You can see the exact structure of this course here. If you can already demonstrate level B1, it is possible to attend the courses of the first language practice module directly. If you have an even higher language level, please take the placement test scheduled immediately before the start of the semester (16.10.2024 /14:00) in order to find a suitable entry point into the language practice modules.
