Aachen, in Germany's far west, is known for Charlemagne's historic cathedral and RWTH Aachen, one of Europe's leading technical universities. Its location on the Belgian and Dutch borders gives it a multicultural feel.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Aachen. There are also language schools in Cologne, about an hour away by train.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: institutes such as the Goethe-Institut are usually at the higher end, while private language schools offer more flexible pricing. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days, and a national visa for longer stays. For a national visa application you submit proof of enrolment in an intensive course (at least 18 lessons a week), accommodation details, health insurance and proof of funds. NGGlobal helps you prepare complete documents.
Students in Germany on a national language course visa may work up to 20 hours a week; working is not allowed on a Schengen visa. The scope of your work permission is stated on your visa, so check it before starting a job.
