Program Description:

This is a four-week program of intensive German language instruction for students who have had at least one semester of university-level German.

The four weeks will consist of intensive language study, an overnight orientation period in Berlin and Potsdam, and optional excursions outside of the city arranged by the Herder Institut.

Setting Description:

Located in the heart of Europe in the former East Germany, the city of Leipzig has a population of nearly 600,000. Leipzig’s historic importance is self-evident from its numerous magnificent buildings, now mostly refurbished, which include sights such as the Old Town Hall, the Old Exchange, the old and new exhibition centers, and the Monument to the Battle of Leipzig. Located in a beautiful area of vistas, history and culture, Leipzig is only two hours from Berlin, one hour from Dresden and Weimar, and three hours from Prague.
