Regensburg

The German city of Regensburg lies at the northernmost point of the Danube in the heart of Bavaria, just one hour north of Munich airport. This ancient city, founded by the Romans, has a beautifully-preserved and unique medieval centre which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the Middle Ages Regensburg was one of the most important cities in Germany, serving as a meeting point for emperors, princes, and European ambassadors. The Stone Bridge, the Gothic cathedral, and the Old Town Hall are the most remarkable landmarks from this period. With its buildings dating back two millennia, Regensburg stands out as one of the most beautiful cities in Germany and is undoubtedly a great location in which to learn German.

Regensburg is not only a city shaped by history, but also one which hosts 30,000 students from two distinct universities, thereby making it a very lively and vibrant place. Large German companies such as BMW, Siemens, Continental, Osram, and others have established themselves here and made the city one of Germany’s fastest growing and wealthiest areas. Many of these companies are seeking qualified individuals for employment, and our school in Regensburg is the perfect place to learn the language skills needed to make yourself eligible for such positions!

You will find that Regensburg is a very walkable and safe city. You’ll feel immediately at home amongst its narrow streets and picturesque squares in the historic centre. It’s in this gorgeous area that our school, with its on-site residence, is located. The city centre is surrounded by an array of peaceful parks, attracting not only students but also residents for some leisurely downtime in the sun.

Courses in Regensburg

Available courses

    Most students select to learn German on a standard Intensive course of 20 group lessons per week. These classes have a maximum of 12 participants, allowing for extensive student-teacher interaction. If you want to learn as much German as possible in the time available to you, take the Intensive + Mini-Group course, with 20 standard lessons per week plus an additional 10 lessons a week in smaller groups of max. 4 students. These extra lessons allow for highly personalised attention that will help you to rapidly improve your language skills.

    The school also offers an Intensive + Private course that combines 20 group lessons with 5 or 10 private lessons each week. You can use the private lessons to concentrate on the areas of German that interest you most - perhaps preparing for an exam or learning specific topics that you may need for your work. These one-to-one lessons are also highly beneficial for anyone who feels that they need extra help, such as those who might be struggling with particular aspects of the language. With the prestigious commerce in the region, Regensburg is an excellent choice for a tailor-made Business German programme. Of course, if you want a bespoke lesson package with as much personalised attention as possible, our school can also arrange 20 Private Lessons per week (available outside of July and August).

    Our German school in Regensburg also organises a Teachers’ Course, which consists of 30 lessons a week for two weeks. You will cover general linguistic skills together with the methodology and didactics of communication-oriented teaching. You’ll also learn about German current affairs to update your cultural knowledge. The minimum German ability level for this course is intermediate (B2).

    Accommodation

    Available accommodation

      Our Regensburg school has an on-site residence offering single and double rooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as apartments and studios, all available on a self-catering basis. The students staying in this residence like to be independent in an international environment, right in the vibrant city centre. The residence is split over two floors, with 38 rooms in total. The building has laundry facilities with a washing machine and dryer, as well as a library full of German literature. You’ll only need to bring your towel from home as sheets and linen are provided. Do note that twin/double rooms are only available when travelling with another student.

      Naturally, our school also offers accommodation in carefully-selected German host families, the ideal way to maximise the linguistic benefits of your stay. You’ll stay with native German hosts with whom you can practice after your lessons have finished, maintaining your immersion in the language and culture and providing you with a deeper insight into the German way of life. Some hosts can offer access to a private bathroom (subject to availability), and most are located within 20 minutes’ travel from the school by public transport. If you’d prefer the independence to cook for yourself during your stay you can select the self-catering option and have daily use of the kitchen. We recommend that you select a meal package, not just because it’s generally more cost-effective than other options but also because you’ll have home-cooked German meals provided by your host each day. You can choose between breakfast-included or half-board packages.

      During your German course in Regensburg you'll discover countless friendly bars, cafés and beer-gardens, museums, theatres, and cinemas.

      A very positive experience, my first steps at learning German. The organisation of the course was excellent and the welcome from the language school was very warm. Basic German course - class with 4 other students in the morning, individual calsses in the afternoon on 4 days. Morning classes were well structured, afternoon more improvised but made much more progress. Overall good standard of teaching.

      The course was challenging. I made good progress in both speaking and understanding during the two week course thanks to an excellent teacher.

      I really love it. I was amazed by the teacher. The introduction of the grammar was very smooth not intimidating at all. In 5 days I could speak; read and write some German. I hope to go-back soon!

      I felt that the course was excellent and that I have increased my knowledge of the German language. The teacher was well versed and explained everything in a manner which was easily understood. The host family was very accommodating and helped me in every way possible. They conversed with me in German and increased my understanding of the German way of life. The school in Regensburg has an excellent program for students after class and on the weekends. I have attended other courses and this one was the best one of all. The variety of free time programs was excellent.
