Russian

Courses 1 to 4 are offered to students from all faculties with participants from the degree programmes of European Studies / Intercultural Communication / M.A. European Integration being given preference over other candidates such as retakers or students attending two courses in one semester.
The courses aim at enabling students to acquire the standard pronunciation and correct intonation of the Russian language as well as basic lexical and grammatical content and to use written and oral communication skills in relevant and selected situations from everyday life and professional situations on a basic level. In order to achieve these goals, all communicative skills (listening and reading comprehension, writing and speaking as well as oral interaction) are practised throughout the entire programme, and elementary national and cultural aspects of the Russian-speaking world are dealt with.

Regular participation in Course 4 and successful oral and written exams are prerequisites for acquiring the B1 Foreign-Language Certificate (please see Certificate Regulations of the Language Centre).

The languages used in class are German and Russian. A sufficient level of German is required for the participation in these courses.
