If the documents are complete, you will receive an e-mail with the link to the registration/payment one to two days later.
Step 2 – Registration and payment for the course
You will receive an e-mail with the information for the registration and payment. Log in to our website. Then go back to the e-mail and click on the link sent to you. Register for the next semester and pay for the course (1840 Euro; Visa, Mastercard).

Cancellation conditions for the summer semester
Deregistering from the VWU German course at the language center and reimbursement of the course fee is only possible if you provide us within the cancellation period with a confirmation from the university (e.g. student record sheet, confirmation of study periods, confirmation of withdrawal or similar) which shows that you are not enrolled in the University preparation programme (VWU) in the current semester.
Furthermore, course fees will be refunded within the cancellation period to students who pass the EPD in January and are able to transfer to the regular program (Proof: EPD certificate or study record sheet with notification of degree program) as well as to students who have additional subjects and are able to transfer to the VWU based on their Onset results.
