German C1 Pharmacy
(FSP-Preparation)

You are an immigrant with a first language other than German and:

• have completed a degree in pharmacy in your home country
• have a certificate of general or subject-specific German language proficiency at language level B2
• aspire to work as a pharmacist in Germany
• intend to apply to the relevant state authorities for a license to practice medicine as part of the recognition of your profession

The special module “Academic Healthcare Professions” teaches general and specialist language skills in a pharmaceutical context, i.e. using topics that are particularly relevant to the areas of pharmacist/pharmacist communication, pharmacist/customer communication, team communication and written documentation.

Specific course content includes, for example:

• informing customers and relatives about the composition, use, effects, side effects and storage of medicines
• advising and exchanging information with other pharmacists or specialist staff from other professional groups (written and verbal communication with colleagues)
• as well as using German terms and medical vocabulary as appropriate to the situation

Small courses (5-12 participants) are formed for each professional group.

The special module concludes with the compulsory professional language exam (Fachsprachenprüfung/FSP), for which you will be intensively prepared in the language course.
