How about German language requirements?
Many of our offers require German language skills. We do, however, try to make as many of our services as possible available to students who do not speak German. If you are interested in any of our services, please e-mail us and we will try to find individual solutions: PraktikumUndBeruf@sowi.uni-goettingen.de.
