This programme is specifically aimed at students from our partner universities.
However, students or prospective students of all disciplines, young researchers, and young professionals are also welcome to participate in our programme.
Our international summer schools have a long tradition: Each year, we offer three to six-week intensive courses in German language and culture during the semester breaks. In these courses, you will learn German in small groups at four different language levels. During our lessons, you will improve your grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary at the A1 to B2 language levels. You will also learn a lot about German culture and regional studies.
Our courses are complemented by an extensive social and excursion programme that allows participants to get to know TU Braunschweig and the region around Braunschweig.
We will visit regional companies and museums and explore various TU Braunschweig facilities. During excursions to Berlin and several German cities, you will get to know the history and culture of Germany better. Joint leisure activities and sufficient free time to explore on your own round off our programme.

Braunschweig is a lively student city situated in northern Germany. With a population of 250,000, it is big enough to feel cosmopolitan and yet small enough not to be overwhelming.
