German 1

Term 2 & 3, Move on in German Stage 1bc - Wednesday 6.30pm to 8.30pm

We look forward to welcoming both new and returning students to the University of Southampton. Unless otherwise stated, all courses will be taught in person at our Avenue Campus.

We would like to advise that you will need to have the appropriate technology and suitable internet connection in place, as we will be making use of online materials. At Southampton, we use a virtual learning environment (VLE) called Blackboard which is used to deliver learning materials and real-time online teaching for our students.

We offer a variety of different options at Stage 1 (beginners). The taster course is an ideal opportunity to try out learning the language before committing to a longer period of study. After completing Stage 1a, there will be the opportunity to progress onto Stage 1b and 1c. Or there is the option to book the full 30 week course, (stage 1a, b and c).

This course will take place on Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on the following dates:

A Taste of German (Stage 1a) - 15/10/2025 to 17/12/2025

Taster Courses (Stage 1a)

These short courses are an ideal way for you to try out learning a new language before committing to a longer period of study. Our taster courses take place over a period of 10 weeks (usually the autumn term October – December) and will cover the material from the first part of our Stage 1 courses. If you decide that you would like to continue to learn the language you will then be able to either opt into one of our Language Stages or take one of our Move on in… courses which start in January. Either of these options will allow you to complete the language stage (1b and 1c) in order to be able to progress to the next stage in the following year, if you wish.
