In accordance with its cosmopolitan tradition, Germany's oldest university is pleased to provide a forum for people from all over the world to meet and learn together. A diverse program awaits the participants of this year's International Summer School. The International Summer School consists of three different types of courses. Course I offers language training at elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. Course III is a special course in Business German for participants with a high level of German language ability.
German students assist each class with the planning of leisure activities.
Excursions, concerts, and cultural and social events round out the program of the Summer School. After arriving in Heidelberg, the participants are assigned to their proper class level by means of a short interview with a teacher as well as a written, multiple choice test. The opening ceremony of the International Summer School will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday, August 5th. It will be followed by a guided tour of Heidelberg and then the presentation of further workshops in the afternoon. Language classes begin on Monday, August 6th.
