Summer, sun and language studies?

In a total of 15 lessons with a professional teacher of German, you will learn your first words, form simple sentences and gain an insight into typical everyday situations.
You will also find out how exchange programmes work at the University of Oldenburg and what life in Germany is like. Plus, we will put you in touch with local students.

The number of participants is limited to 16 students from our partner universities. Also, at least 10 people have to register for it to take place.
