Applications for the 2019 Summer Study-in-Leipzig-Germany Program are due soon! If you are interested in joining the program, please apply now. If you already started your application, please complete it asap to secure a spot in the program.
This is a unique opportunity to spend the summer in a historic city in the middle of Germany, immerse yourself in the German language and culture, make new friends, and earn 6 units of credit to fulfill the UA’s second language requirement (taking a 200 level course), work towards a major/minor in German Studies (taking a 300+ level course), or just to improve your language and cultural skills. Students will also engage in a language/culture exchange with a German student and explore central Germany.
The program will take place June 1-29, 2019 (approx. the time of summer session I) and will earn participants 6 units of UA credit. There will also be a flexible one-week online preparation session in May and an orientation meeting in late April. Students of any area of study with a minimum of two semesters of college German are invited to apply. Students planning to fulfill the four-semester second language requirement and majors and minors of German are particularly encouraged to join the program.
Estimated program cost (including tuition, housing, excursions, local transportation, health insurance) is $ 2,900 (excluding airfare). There are various scholarship opportunities and good odds to receive financial assistance. Application deadline is February 25, 2019.
