Germany's universities additionally offer many summer courses. These not only enable you to learn German, but also increasingly offer specialist courses as well. Furthermore, the range of pre-study access courses is continuing to grow. Most of the courses are offered "out of session" during the summer vacations, i.e. in the "Semesterferien". While some offerings are also available in the winter months.

From my personal experience
"My future plan is to study in Germany."
Bruna Tellini Vontobel, student of Politics from Brazil; participant of the International Summer Course “Düsseldorf live” at the IIK Düsseldorf e.V.
"My future plan is to study in Germany. With a background of study and work experience in Germany, you’re going to find great career opportunities opening up around the world. The intensive German course offers me the opportunity to get to know the language and the country better. So far, I’ve been very happy and my experiences have been positive. In fact, I’ve already fallen a bit in love with the language and the country."
