"An important part of Norwegian culture is the wooden huts in the middle of nature. During my semester abroad, I spent a lot of time in these huts with my new-found Norwegian friends. From there we went on hikes, played cards in the evenings and sang together in English and Norwegian to guitar music by the stove. We particularly liked the hut where the photo was taken because of the brilliant view of the lake."

"Norway" means "northern way" or "way leading to the north." The close relationship between Norwegian and German is reflected in their similar vocabulary and word order. Norwegian grammar is straightforward, like Norwegians' informal approach to life, which is exemplified by the motto: "Det ordner seg!" ("It'll be alright!")

Language courses in summer semester 2025
TUMtandem registration summer semester
Course-Sharing-Cooperation-Program (vhb)
Intensive courses (course levels may vary) take place during the semester break in spring and fall.
The intensive courses take place over a shorter period of time, but have more training units per week than the courses during the semester. The number of ECTS and the workload is therefore the same as for the semester-long courses.
Current dates and registration deadlines can be found on our homepage.
You can find a complete overview of our course program in TUMonline.
Would you like to make contact with other TUM students or employees and at the same time improve your language skills in a flexible and practical way? At TUMtandem we will find a tandem partner for you within TUM and support your joint learning process. More information on TUMtandem
The Virtual University of Bavaria (vhb) offers the online language courses for Norwegian. The courses can be a useful supplement to the Norwegian courses at TUM.
Please note that the TUM Language Center currently cannot guarantee that ECTS will be awarded for these courses.
Courses of the vhb are free for TUM students and registration is carried out using the TUM-ID.
Please also note additional offers.
More detailed information about the courses can be found in the course descriptions
