Dear newly admitted students at the GJU,
We welcome you to your German pre-course, which is compulsory to register in "German I" (GERL101B1) at GJU. The pre-course will take place from 20th of September to 1st of October in person on GJU's main campus. The course hours are daily from 9:00 to 14:00 (3 lectures a day). Information on your classroom can be retrieved from the myGJU portal shortly before the start of the pre-course. You need to log in with your GJU username and password and check your schedule.
We accept late entry to the pre-course due to new registrations up to 2 pm on the first day of the course. For late registration please contact the Admission and Registration Department in Building G or the Open House in Building L ground floor on the main campus. Please note that you may be absent for a maximum of 1.5 days (4.5 lectures) in order not to be excluded from the course.
The required course material is “Momente A1.1” and “Momente A1.2” from Hueber Publishing House. Please purchase the A1.1 textbook and workbook (Momente A1.1 Kursbuch and Momente A1.1 Arbeitsbuch) in print format, as well as the digital interactive book edition (eBundle), before the pre-course. The books and access codes for the digital book edition are available at Pen & Pencil Bookshop, located in Backyard Mall, opposite the university. They are available there at a special GJU package price.
These books will be used both during the pre-course and in the “German I” course.
Students who have already passed a recognized language certificate or who prove their German language skills through a placement test can be exempted from German courses at GJU. Original language certificates must be presented at the time of enrollment at GJU in Office 209 in Building L. The placement test for students with German language knowledge but without acquired certificate will take place on 16th of September. Please register for the placement test with your e-mail address and phone number at the German Language Center (GLC). After successful registration for the placement test, you will receive detailed information about the test.
Students who previously took “German I” at GJU without having passed it, and who wish to register in “German I” in 1st of 2025/26, also need to register for the pre-course. The pre-course is a mandatory requirement for “German I”. Please contact the Admissions and Registrations Department ahead of the pre-course to secure a spot.
The timetables and stops for the GJU buses will be published on the GJU website.
We wish you all a successful start for the new academic year 2025/2026 and are very much looking forward to seeing you in our German courses.
Best regards,
Your German Language Center (GLC)
