Marburg in Hesse is a classic university town, home to the world's oldest Protestant university, founded in 1527. Its old town rising from the Lahn river and its hilltop castle give it a fairy-tale atmosphere.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Marburg. The Goethe-Institut and DID schools in Frankfurt are 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.
