As the Language Center of the University of Rostock, we would like to provide the best possible support to people who are currently fleeing Ukraine.

We therefore offer help in the following areas:

Individual Guided Language Learning: German and English

The individually supervised language learning (IGLL) in the summer semester 2022 has succesfully ended with four levels of German.

The Language Center at the University of Rostock offers Ukrainian students (and those planning to start a course of study) individualized German and English language and culture tutorials to help you prepare for a course of studies in Germany. 

This is NOT a language course for beginning German!  For information on regular courses in and around Rostock, please contact Ms. Maria Merkel, Rostock International House (RIH): maria.merkeluni-rostockde  or go to the office hours at the RIH (Kröpelinerstr. 29) Tues. 14:00 – 16:00 or Thurs. 9 – 12:00.

We offer guided self-study and small group tutorials in a relaxed atmosphere.

The instructor, Ms. Rebecca Collin, is a native speaker of English and long-time resident of Germany who has been teaching both English and German for over 20 years.

To participate, you must speak some English (ca. B1 level). We suggest taking the German placement test so we can use material appropriate for your level. If you would like tutorials for/in English, please take the English placement test.

For scheduling a placement test please contact:

This program ends for the summer in late July.
