The Q-Course is a preparatory course prior to the eight-month intensive German course leading to the DSH examination. Its objective is to complete language level A1.

The course primarily serves as a pre-qualification for the subsequent intensive German course (DSH preparation) and specifically prepares participants for its linguistic requirements.

It is intended for applicants who plan to pursue a full degree at KU but do not yet meet the required language level for admission to the intensive German course.

In addition, the course is also open to international students enrolled in English-taught degree programs who wish to acquire basic German language skills. It is offered once a year in the period leading up to the winter semester and is completed before the start of lectures.

Successful completion of the Q Course also qualifies students for enrollment in the semester-long A2 courses offered by the Language Center.
