    There is the possibility to attend German courses in Augsburg; these will, however, not be offered by the University, but rather by private institutions (and hence will cost a fee).The German courses provided by the University of Augsburg aim towards students who are already enrolled. Information about the courses can be obtained at the language center of the University of Augsburg ( Sprachenzentrum).

  2. Proof of sufficient knowledge of English (please check the requirement of the respective master’s degree programme).

Accommodation:

Students admitted to a degree programme are eligible to apply for a room in a student dormitory, but usually there is a long waiting list. To avoid the waiting list, you may purchase a 6-month Service Package after you have obtained the 'Zulassung'.

 

Most dormitories are run by the Student Union of Augsburg; they are conveniently located (walking distance or easy tram connection to the university). All rooms are one-person rooms, fully furnished, with a bathroom and cooking facilities.

 

After your arrival in Augsburg, help in finding a private accomodation can also be provided by the  University of Augsburg International Office.
