| Welcome
to Eberhard Karls Universität!
Tübingen/South
Africa is a cultural and language program for South African students initiated
by the eastern Seaboard Association of Tertiary Institutions and the University
of Tübingen, aiming to expose students to German culture and to bring
about closer ties and understanding between the two countries. Students
spend a month in Tübingen in a programme designed to provide a broad
spectrum of knowledge in a wide variety of subjects, from language to history
to economics, punctuated by a number of leisure activities, which makes
for an exciting month of multi-faceted learning.

Africa Program 2003
Message
to the Participants
The University of Tübingen is proud to present its Summer
Program for South African Students for the fourth time in January
2003. The first two years we were already able, with the kind assistance
of esATI, the Eastern Seaboard Association of Tertiary Institutions
in Durban, to offer a highly successful program to students from
the partner provinces of the State of Baden-Württemberg. The
German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) provided one fourth of the
participants with a generous stipend. In 2002, all participants
were DAAD grantees. This year, we have been able to fall back on
esATI's assistance again, and the DAAD gives financial support to
one fourth of the participants, as in 2000 and 2001.
Among
the many South African activities of Eberhard Karls Universität
this is certainly the most ambitious one. We are very pleased to
have yet another group of students from universities and technikons
in South Africa with us in Tübingen. I am sure that you will
enjoy and profit from "Tübingen 2003" just as much
as your predecessors have in the first three years. You will find
that things are quite different here in Germany, and this does not
only apply to the weather! I wish you all a very successful program
and hope that you will keep in touch with us in the future."
