What to expect from our specialist language courses

You decide the learning environment and intensity of the course: Our private courses are tailored entirely to you and your personal goals. In our group courses, you’ll benefit from the regular exchange with fellow participants.

The main aim of all our language courses is to improve your communication skills to ensure you’ll be able to master the specialist language and medical terms required for working in healthcare and nursing. To achieve this, we draw on many years of experience to develop highly specialised learning materials that allow you to familiarise yourself with and practise the language skills and topics needed on the job day in, day out.

What our graduates say

Dr. Szabolcs Zsigri

“I am an anaesthetist and would like to work in Austria. I plan to work in a hospital in Vienna and have to speak German there all day.

I have been learning German at the Österreich Institut since 2023 and have attended both group courses and private lessons. What I find most important are the good teachers: They can motivate the students, find the best methods and take personal abilities into account. Media also plays an important role in teaching and all my teachers have used different media!

It's a wonderful feeling when my German improves! I understand more and can write and speak more and more – but of course there are still many moments when I am surprised!

After my lessons at the Österreich Institut I have now moved to Vienna!”

“I now work in a private hospital where I often have to deal with foreign patients. I have difficulties when I have to talk to German-speaking patients. I can't find the right words, I am always thinking of English words. I would also like to work in Austria one day because I hope I will find better working conditions there.

In Austria, you can only work as a doctor if you have language level C1 and you also have to take a language test. That's why I first attended the B2.1 course and then the C1.1 course, which were both very useful for me. I feel that I already have more confidence when I have to speak to German-speaking people."
