DAAD Language Assistant

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is the world’s largest funding organization for the international exchange of students and researchers. Every year the DAAD sends highly qualified academics to teach the German language, literature and culture at universities abroad.

The DAAD Language Assistant usually works for one academic year at the Foreign Language Department at Bilkent University. There, he or she teaches German on a basic level for students of all departments. Besides that, the DAAD Language Assistant offers communication courses on two different levels to improve oral skills, in which advanced German learners can enroll.

Apart from teaching German, the DAAD Language Assistant provides information regarding study programs and research projects in Germany as well as DAAD scholarship options and (university) life in Germany in general. Whoever plans or considers a stay in Germany can get further information and advice from the DAAD Language Assistant. Alongside consultation, an information meeting about higher education, research and scholarship possibilities in Germany is usually organized in fall on Bilkent University’s campus in cooperation with the DAAD Information Center Ankara.
