Topics
The European Studies courses focus on the emerging New Europe. They cover political, economic and legal, but also historical and cultural aspects of the multiple transformations the continent is currently undergoing. The program thus offers a concise and up to date introduction to recent developments in Europe which will provide students from different fields of study with additional key qualifications for their future professional work.
Detailed information about the individual courses can be found in the course descriptions.
German Language
The success of the German language program of the Sommerhochschule is based on careful student placement, teachers well-trained in methodology and with a special training in teaching German as a foreign language, as well as balanced communicative teaching methods. These methods help you to learn quickly and gain confidence in your communicative skills while having fun at the same time.
Our teaching approach for effective language learning:
German will be the only language spoken in class.
You will be actively involved all the time.
Pair work and role play will be used to simulate real life situations.
