Guide to German Language Courses

If you want to finance a German language course via IMPRS-APS, there are some things you have to keep in mind:

Who can get financed?

All IMPRS-APS students get their German language courses financed. There is no limit to the number of courses.

Where can I find a German language course?

German language courses regularly take place at MPQ. If you're interested, please contact Ms. Seidl (doreen.seidl@mpq.mpg.de) .

Courses offered by IUCM are another option. For more information, please go to their website (https://www.iucm.de/en/).

You can also attend a course offered by any other organisation, as long as the cost doesn't exceed 250,00€ per course.

What paperwork needs to be done?

The paperwork needs to be handed in approx. 2 weeks (14 days) before the start of the course! The invoice must be addressed to MPQ!

  • You need to fill out the "Training request".
  • For "Cost unit", please put "IMPRS-APS".
  • For "Reason", please make sure to list possible applications of your German skills (attending German language lectures, reading German language research materials and manuals, better communication with German companies, etc.).
  • Please also ask your PC to sign this form, so Ferenc knows they agreed before he adds his own signature.
  • Ferenc's signature, please send the filled-out form to Nicole Buchwiser (nicole.buchwiser@mpq.mpg.de) .
