Introduction and start of studies

The most important dates and offers for the start of studies
At the University of Kassel there is not the an introductory event. Rather, there is an extensive offer of different "Veranstalter:innen":
- On the one hand, the departments offer an official program. This type of introductory event is about the subject of study: What is this subject thematically about? Which majors are offered in Kassel? Which professors and subject areas determine the content? So: by all means attend and ask questions!
- For some (not all) courses and subjects we recommend participation in preliminary courses. Pre-courses are aimed at first-year students who would like to refresh their knowledge in certain subjects. The preliminary courses start before the introduction dates.
- Often the student councils also offer introductory courses. The student council is part of the student self-organization and deals with the specific questions of the students of a department. In terms of content, it deals with questions about the course of studies, the organization of the curriculum, the organization of learning and examinations. The student councils thus offer help with the question of how best to study this subject.
- In addition, there are "welcome events": First semester welcome, offers for students with children, offers for international students.
More detailed information on the introductory events organized by TEACH for students can be found here.
Who or what is TEACH?
TEACH stands for "Traditionelle Erstsemestereinführung am Campus und Hörsaal". We are a group of student teachers from all teaching disciplines and subjects who offer support to first semester students during their first exciting days at the University of Kassel. As part of the teaching student council, we organize the introductory days for first-semester teachers from the student side and plan information events and a varied supporting programme for you! We look forward to seeing you!

We would like to welcome you to the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Kassel and would like to provide you with important information in advance on behalf of the Spanish language practice.
In order to be admitted to study Spanish at the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Kassel, you must provide proof of Spanish language proficiency at level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
However, in order to be able to study successfully, it is important that you develop your language skills quickly after starting your studies so that you can easily use Spanish at level B1, both to successfully complete the individual modules of language practice and to participate in the courses of the specialist sciences. We support you in this with special language practice courses, which are known as propaedeutic courses and are taught exclusively by native speakers. Within the first winter semester, you will reach level B1 through a combination of block courses and regular weekly sessions. You can see the exact structure of this course below.
If you can already demonstrate level B1, it is possible to attend the courses of the first module of language practice directly. If you have an even higher language level, please take the placement test scheduled immediately before the start of the semester ( 16.10.2024 /14:00 - 16:00, Kurt-Wolter-Str. 5, Room 0020) in order to find a suitable entry point into the language practice modules.
