Overview

For more than 70 years, Kiel University has organised an International Summer Course. Each year in the summer - from mid-July to mid-August - about 70 to 90 students and graduates from foreign universities from more than 20 different countries participate in this course.

Details

The summer course helps participants to improve their German language skills, as well as to inform them about Germany today (language, society, nation and culture).

The programme encompasses three components: German classes, lectures and excursions.

German language course

Intermediate and advanced courses at 6 different levels (B I, B II, C I and C II) are carried out in the German language . The course level visited is determined by a placement test and an interview the individual participant. The course comprises 20-25 hours per week in groups of approx. 15 participants (90 instruction hours in total).

The instruction is carried out by teachers of the Key Skills Centre/German as a Foreign Language Unit. Courses for beginners are not offered.

Special classes for German language teachers are offered in didactics and foreign language instruction methods within the framework of the instruction.

Lectures and excursions

Each week, lectures are held in the afternoons by scientists and public figures which are designed to give participants insights into the politics, economy and culture of today's Germany, as well as to inform participants about historical developments. Each lecture is followed by a discussion session.

Excursions led by experts on the region are offered to give participants an impression of Northern Germany, its landscape, art and culture. Day trips to the cities of Hamburg and Lübeck as well as a trip to the North Sea coast.
