Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz mountains is a small university town known for its technical university, rooted in a mining tradition. Surrounded by forests and lakes, it offers a quiet student life in the middle of nature.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Clausthal-Zellerfeld. Language schools in Göttingen and Hanover are the nearest big-city options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. German levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Clausthal-Zellerfeld depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and prices are usually lower.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for courses of up to 90 days, and for a national (type D) language course visa for courses longer than 90 days. For the national visa, the course must have at least 18 lessons a week. You will need the school's letter of acceptance, proof of payment, health insurance and proof of sufficient funds.
The national language course visa allows you to work up to 20 hours a week. This is a good way to cover part of your living costs and practise your German at work. Short-term Schengen visas do not include permission to work.
Accommodation in Clausthal-Zellerfeld is mostly in student residences and shared flats, and rent is very affordable.
Living costs in the town are among the lowest in Germany, with most spending going on groceries and personal needs.
