German Society

Guten Tag! If you’re interested in or studying German, then the USYD German Society is the society for you. We aim to provide a fun, inclusive and culturally rich experience for all students, regardless of your language level. We offer a range of social, cultural, and educational events to appeal to everyone, whether your aim is to enhance your language learning, gain some cultural immersion or just eat a lot of pretzels and meet new people. In 2020, we hosted regular virtual film screenings and Netflix Parties, trivia nights, study sessions and live streamed online cooking classes making pretzels and sausages from scratch, so that our community could still connect while in isolation. For 2021, we’re keen to see you again in person, so come along to our next event! We also have an active presence on social media so you can easily stay up to date.

We have lots of fun, opportunities to meet people and make friends, free food and drink, and cultural connections, whether you speak German or not.

The highlights of the calendar are Oktoberfest and our Winter Christmas Market, which are great ways to experience German food, drinks and culture.

We hold Weekly Conversation Groups on campus and online, so you can meet other members and practice some German!
