For Schools

Our UK-wide career roadshows offer students a multi-faceted program that provides insight into the relevance of German in professional life.

Enterprise German (“Unternehmen Deutsch”) combines aspects of German, economics, and professional orientation with a motivating competition. School classes from secondary schools in the UK and university students who deal with the topic of career orientation in the classroom can participate, if their teacher or professor registers a participating group.

German Club Starter Kits will include a German Club Handbook (digital or hardcopy) for club leaders, gamified learning challenges, badges, and awards for students, with different learning routes according to students' ages. Previous knowledge of German is neither necessary for students nor teachers. We further offer comprehensive professional training and incentive trips for teachers and heads who start up a club. We can also help set up a club directly at your school!

The Goethe-Institut up close: provide your students with a direct and personal look into the German language and culture. We would be delighted to welcome your school groups to the Goethe-Institut London or the Goethe-Institut Glasgow.

German makes the difference! Knowing German significantly increases your chances of finding a good job: not only internationally, on the large German-speaking labour market, but also here in the United Kingdom. We have put together a wide range of learning programmes for young German learners on the subject of German and work.
