Study Europe and the EU in Germany:
Come and join our short-term program “International & European Studies” at the University of Tübingen!
ACADEMIC PROGRAM: You can take courses in European and European Union (EU) politics, law, history, international business and culture. Seminars are taught in English by renowned Tübingen researchers. You will also attend a German language class. Classes are small and individual care and mentoring is guaranteed at all times.
EXCURSIONS: You will visit Strasbourg, Berlin and Frankfurt, take a tour of the European Parliament, interview EU-politicians, and visit influential companies (like Mercedes, Erbe, Porsche, Ritter Sport) in the economically strong region of Baden-Württemberg.
INTERCULTURAL WORKSHOP: You will gain one of the key qualifications in an increasingly globalized world: Intercultural competence. In the workshop you will reflect on your intercultural experience in Germany. Studying in a diverse, multicultural group will further foster your knowledge about other cultures.
BUDDY PROGRAM: Within the Buddy Program a student of the University of Tübingen teams up with a participant. One German “buddy” will take care of you during your entire stay in Tübingen. This will allow you to get to know German students, and experience student life first-hand.
LOCATION: Tübingen is the ideal location for this small and highly effective academic program: it is a picturesque, safe University town and with its romantic old town it offers you multiple opportunities to experience German culture in cafés, talks. Or how about a fun punting boat trip (“Stocherkahn”) on the river Neckar on a sunny day.
