The registration for the language courses proceeds via Jogustine - Studies - Modules/Courses - Registration - Module/Course registration - Additional qualifications. The registration is possible only outside term time. We kindly ask to use your university email account for any sort of communication with the ISSK only. The participation is only possible with a printout from Tor (Transcript of records) or with the result of the placement test.
The registration for Staff members also proceeds via Jogustine  - Staff Courses - Registration - ISSK

Please ensure that you only register for your previously determined course level. Registrations for courses not according to the registrants language level cannot be considered and will be deleted (automatically) by the course management.
Important Note: Only one registration per language is permitted. Multiple registration (whether for different levels or for parallel courses e.g. S-A1a and A1b etc.) will be deleted entirely (all registrations!). This means that no participation in a language course will be possible in the summer semester 2024.

If you have prior knowledge in English, French, Spanish, Italian and you have not attended a language course at ISSK in the last two semesters, a placement test is required. All other interested students must submit a proof of their level. This can be the successful completion of one of the ISSK language courses ‘Transcript of Records’ – not older than 2 semesters – or one of the following certificates (see here)– not older than 3 years. If you have a standardized proof of language proficiency, please send an email to your teacher after course registration.
