Language

The default instruction and teaching language in Marburg is German for Bachelor level courses and English for Master level courses. For the vast majority of courses including our German Bachelor level courses, learning material is available in English. Note that all incoming students can take Bachelor and Master level courses in Marburg, regardless of their current level, if they meet the class specific requirements, such as a basic machine learning class as a preparation for an advanced deep learning class or a database systems class as a preparation for a distributed data management class.

Incoming students are required to have level B1 English and we recommend having level B1 German for courses taught in German. We encourage incoming students to take a preparatory German language course offered by the Philipps-University on site, if they plan to take a class taught in German. Note that taking a language course also grants ECTS points in the transcript of records!
