Oral Topics:
Please advise us of your topics, so that they can be incorporated into the private tuition lessons, during the week. The aim is to develop discussions around the topics and get you talking. Information supplied later than 2 weeks beforehand, cannot be included into the programme.

NB: This is a German language, not a literature orientated programme.

 

College Description:
Berlin is a dynamic city, and there is plenty to see and experience, besides the studious environment of the language school. The combination of its academic record, great city location and ease of access via its international airport make it the perfect study location.

Cultural activities:
The school offers a range of cultural activities to students once in Berlin, many of which are free of charge.

Private study:
Students will be asked to complete some homework tasks each night in preparation for the following day’s classes. It is important that students complete these tasks to take full advantage of the week’s programme.

Berlin ExcursionAccommodation

Students usually stay with local German hosts/esses. You are welcome to make your own accommodation arrangements, but most of the A’ level revision course students choose to stay with hosts, or if 18 yrs+ they can stay on campus.

German hosts/ess:
Open to students aged 17 yrs+
Students book a single room with a hostess, on a half-board basis. Allow a commute of around 30 to 45 mins to school.

Meals: Breakfast and the evening meals are taken with the hosts. Students make their own lunchtime arrangements but eat on site at the language school with other students.

On Campus residence:
If students are 18 yrs+ they may book a single or shared room on site. Rooms book up very quickly, so early reservations are essential.

Meals: Breakfast is included. Additional meals can be bought on site.

Berlin Students in classCurfew

Students under 18 yrs of age must return to their accommodation by 12 midnight. This is a requirement of Law.

It is not the job of the staff or the hosts to police the students.

Any infringement of the curfew set, will be passed to the student’s parents, for their information.

Berlin Brandenburg Tor tripTravel/Transfers

A one- or two-way transfer service from Brandenberg airport in Berlin to the accommodation can be arranged at extra cost. Students are welcome to take a taxi instead, but an arrival transfer can be very reassuring if this is your first language course.
