Students
We invite you to join us at our information session to learn more about the summer German Language and Culture program in Schwäbisch Gmünd and Berlin. Come and find out more about program fees, funding, housing, and excursions!
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Summer German language program offers six weeks of intensive language instruction and a seminar on the culture and history of Germany. Students spend five weeks in the medieval town of Schwäbisch Gmünd and participate in a week-long excursion to Berlin. Schwäbisch Gmünd is a medium sized town in eastern Baden-Württemberg near the Bavarian border with a history that dates back to a Roman settlement in the second century.
During your stay in Schwäbisch-Gmünd, you will live in the home of a local family, which will allow you to use your German in everyday situations and provide you with an authentic opportunity to soak up the ambiance of this beautiful town while living as Germans do. Classes will take place at GVSU’s partner university, Pädagogische Hochschule Schwäbisch Gmünd (PHSG), where courses will be taught by both local instructors and a GVSU faculty member. You will also take one class alongside German students. As a result of GVSU’s strong relationship with the host university, you will be given many opportunities to integrate into local student life. In addition to classes and campus activities, you will engage in numerous excursions that will allow you to explore this region of Germany, including Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Nuremberg, and Würzburg.
There is an informational session for this program coming up! If you are interested in this program, I highly recommend coming to this session where you can learn more about this program! Also, you can ask any questions you may have regarding it.
