Communication Courses
Here you can find many additional courses in which you will be prepared for your next job interview, for example – or which can kindle your creative talents, e.g. in theater seminars.
The new program for the spring semester comes out on 6th January. Online application will begin on 5th February.

Important Information
How do I sign up for a course?
You sign up online for courses.
How much are the course fees?
Information about course fees can be found under the respective course.
Our fees are divided into two categories: reduced fees, and fees for external participants.
The following participants are eligible for reduced fees:
- students of all universities and colleges in Germany
- school students
- vocational trainees
- employees of the University of Mannheim
- members of the Studierendenwerk Mannheim
- ABSOLVENTUM members
- au-pairs
People who do not belong to any of the above-mentioned groups are charged the regular fees for external participants.
NOTE: Possible exceptions are stated directly under the course in question.
How do I pay the course fees?
You can pay via credit card, direct debit authorization, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Can I change the course after I’ve already signed up?
In principle, signing up for a course is binding.
Changing a course is possible if the instructor of the original course fills out a “course changer” note for you and a place is still available in the desired course.
Cancelling after the cancellation notice period
- A cancellation of your registration for a course after the cancellation notice period (i.e. later than 6 days before the course begins, to the day) is only possible in person in our office during our office hours, or via e-mail, if someone on the waiting list can move up to take your place or if you can offer a substitute participant. If there is no one to take over the cancelled slot, the course fee will nonetheless be charged to you.
- Not showing up for the course does not constitute a formal cancellation. In principle, non-attendance will lead to the course fee being charged or, if it has already been paid, it will not be refunded.
- Should the course be cancelled on our part, or if you are forced to cancel on account of circumstances beyond your control (e.g. illness [in which case a doctor’s certificate needs to be presented]), the course fee will be refunded.
- In the event that too few people sign up for a course, the course generally has to be cancelled, as each course needs to pay for itself with the course fees.
Do I get a certificate at the end of the course?
A certificate will be sent to the participants by e-mail at the end of the course.
In the language courses, an achievement test or a home assignment or presentation will take place at the end of the course. A graded certificate of participation will be issued if the final test is passed. If the test is failed, an ungraded certificate will be issued, provided the participant attended the course regularly (i.e. not more than four teaching units of non-attendance, which generally corresponds to two sessions). One teaching unit is 45 minutes.
For a weekend course, you are required to be in attendance for the complete course to receive a certificate.
These certificates do not qualify as proof of academic achievement according to the study and examination regulations of regular study programs!
Attendance policy
The identity of the course participants can be checked by the course instructor at any time through a student ID-card or any other form of official photo ID.
