Discover our course books and materials for German for Medicine and Nursing
Nursing staff or doctors wishing to work in Germany require industry-specific German language skills and must demonstrate these in a language proficiency examination. Therefore, we have developed specialised materials for this professional group to help them not only learn the necessary language but also prepare for the corresponding examination. These include course books suitable for classroom use and materials that learners can use independently to prepare for their examinations. The activities promote effective communication in specific situations encountered in medical practice or the daily routine of a hospital. We offer printed books as well as digital learning resources. The medical and nursing contents are subject to professional scrutiny, and the dialogues and texts depict authentic situations.

The materials are available in print and as e-books.
