Being proficient in German allows you to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients who may not feel comfortable speaking English. In Germany, language skills are closely tied to perceived expertise, and many professionals prefer to work in their native language to express their ideas clearly and confidently. This becomes crucial in client-facing roles or when working with departments such as finance, legal, or administration, where regulations, documentation, and day-to-day communications are often conducted in German.
Furthermore, speaking German helps you build stronger professional relationships, as it allows you to engage more deeply with your work environment and develop connections beyond just the international community. It makes networking easier, broadens your opportunities, and gives you access to a wider range of jobs. By learning German, you gain access to a deeper, more authentic German professional culture that you might otherwise miss.
But it's not just about your career—speaking German is also incredibly beneficial for successfully completing your study program in Germany. Many course materials, academic resources, and important administrative communications are provided in German. Understanding German can help you engage more fully with lectures, participate actively in seminars, and collaborate effectively with German-speaking peers on group projects.
Additionally, German proficiency can help you access a broader range of academic literature and resources, which might not always be available in English. This can be especially valuable when conducting research, writing papers, or preparing presentations. By speaking German, you can also better communicate with professors and staff, which is particularly helpful when seeking academic support or guidance.
On a personal level, learning German allows you to navigate everyday life in Germany with greater ease. It opens doors to a richer cultural experience, helps you connect with locals, and makes dealing with everyday situations-like going to the doctor, handling bureaucracy, or simply making new friends-much less stressful.We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the German language courses offered by the Language Centre. In addition, we offer sponsored places in intensive courses during the semester and at the Bauhaus Summer School, designed specifically to develop the language skills you need for both academic and professional success in Germany.
