University Continuing Education Programme
German as a Foreign Language / German as a Second Language Basic Programme - currently under revision!

Teaching German as a foreign or second language means engaging in cultural exchange, experiencing joy, and taking on responsibility. This program specifically prepares students for teaching German as a Foreign/Second Language (DaF/DaZ) at the lower and upper secondary levels (e.g., language support classes) and in adult education (e.g., integration courses) in Austria, South Tyrol, and beyond the German-speaking world. In the process, you will acquire the necessary knowledge to support language learning and promote pluricultural education.
