Summer Schools

German courses in 2026

Our International Summer School is more than simply a language course. We also put together a multi-faceted cultural programme for you.

Classroom instruction

You will learn German on-site in language classes and put it into practice. As a beginner, you will order in German at a caf¨¦ for the first time, and at an advanced level, you will have discussions with German students.

The International Summer Course takes place directly at the university.

After class, your first stop is usually the cafeteria, and then you can take part in afternoon activities such as sports or excursions into the city.

When you explore the city, you will see why Bremen is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.

 

 

Programme

Language course:

  • 25 hours of teaching per week with language caf¨¦s and guided independent study in the afternoons

Our Summer Schools are intended for:

  • students of all subjects & disciplines
  • anyone with a university entrance qualification
  • university graduates.

Participants will be assigned to a particular course before the courses begin by means of an online placement test. Participants receive a Summer School language certificate upon successful completion of the course and can also earn ECTS points (4 for 4 weeks).
