The University is situated in a beautiful part of the country, in a town in the northern part of the Black Forest, is old, venerable and full of traditions - everything one would expect from a university founded in 1477. This university has presently an enrolment of about 24,000 students.
Requirements are second-year German or equivalent.
Crash courses offered by the AAA are also available. Students will be admitted for one specific field of study, but courses may be taken in other departments as well. In the first semester students usually take the majority of courses from the offerings of the Akademisches Auslandsamt and in the second semester, with improved language facility, any other courses in areas of interest. There is also quite a number of courses which are only offered at the last minute. No credit is given for those because we have no way of knowing whether or not a student has actually attended the lectures - and besides, we don't give credit for just sitting there.
