German Language & Culture

AiB German Language & Culture

Summer Program

Term: Summer

In Cooperation with: Several Partner Universities (Lafayette College, Texas A&M University & University of North Carolina at Wilmington) & Institute for Education and Social Innovation (ibugi)

The Deutsche Sprache & Kultur program is an interdisciplinary six-week summer program directed at students of German Studies, History, International Studies and anyone who is interested in the German language. It gives students the opportunity to earn credits for two full German language classes. During their time in Bonn, students do not only learn German, but also partake in several regional and cultural studies classes, taught both theoretically in class and practically on field trips and excursions. In everyday intensive lessons, students will not only learn the German language but also about cultural backgrounds, politics, history, and intercultural communication.

In connection with the summer program, AIB offers the possibility to apply for an internship after the language program (requires intermediate level of German) for another four weeks.

The GLCS program offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the German culture, while improving their existing language skills and expanding their knowledge about German history and the “German way of life.” During your time in Bonn, you not only learn German in the classroom, but participate in intercultural workshops and learn about German culture on field trips and local outings. Course credit is awarded by the ibugi institute at Alanus University Bonn, a fully state-accredited university for arts and social sciences with Bachelor, Master, and PhD programs recognized by the Ministry of Education of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. You will receive an official transcript of records from ibugi and Alanus University that meets US guidelines for transfer credits.
