Language courses
Information on Language courses
The Language Centre offers a series of course modules which will enable you to reach and prove your competence at B2 and C1 levels. For details of the B2 and C1 course programmes, go to:
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar: English Courses
MASTER'S PROGRAMME IN COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR DIGITAL MEDIA
In order to reach and prove competence at C1 level, you will need to complete the course programme as outlined on the above webpage. The Language Centre also recognizes the courses Academic English Part I and Academic English Part II, which are offered exclusively at the Faculty of Media, as components of the C1 programme (2ECTS per course).
A special placement test is offered exclusively to students of the Faculty of Media.
Registration Procedure
The registration documents for the Bachelor’s thesis can be found in the download section.
To officially register your thesis, please send the completed and signed documents (signed by the student and the first examiner) to the responsible Examination Office: nadin.glaser@uni-weimar.de
Required Documents
Please submit the following:
- completed and signed thesis registration form
- Certificate of enrollment (for all semesters in which the Master's Thesis is being written and defended)

- Proof of successful completion of the Initial Research (signed Application form for Initial Research)
- proof of assigned additional courses (Letter of Admission)
- Release Declaration (filled and signed by the first supervisor)
The date of submission of the complete documents will be considered the official registration date and therefore marks the start of the thesis processing period.
