International Summer University

5 - 30 August 2024

Improve your German skills and make new friends. The International Summer University at Leuphana offers a language and culture program, which helps you learn German in the minimum time possible.

This might also be an option if you cannot spend a whole semester abroad or if you want to improve your German before the start of your exchange semester.

Each course comprises a total of 100 hours of instruction, corresponding to aprox. 25 hours of instruction per week. Courses are offered on beginner levels (A1 and A2) and are eligible for credit transfer upon prior approval of your home university.

In addition to the language courses, the summer university offers you many cultural events and leisure activities, which aim to give you insights into the German culture and the German way of life. The program includes a welcome reception, a farewell dinner, a historical city tour, movie nights, games, and sports and much more. These activities are already included in the course fee.

Sunday activities will be arranged for a small fee (13-25 Euros each).

Upon request, we can arrange accommodation for you in student housing.
