There are several reasons for this. Firstly, we want to ensure that you do not regret your decision to join SAS. To feel at home in Bamberg and navigate daily life, a basic knowledge of German is essential - whether for finding accommodation or dealing with local authorities. Secondly, we believe that language plays a crucial role in integration. Unlike many other countries, Germany does not charge tuition fees but invests significantly in all students as a community. Ideally, you will stay in Germany after your studies and pursue a career here. German language skills are key to this, and you will naturally improve them during your time in Bamberg, even outside of your studies. Through taxes and social security contributions, you will have the opportunity to give back to the community and actively contribute to society.
