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 2004
Message
to the Participants The The University of Tübingen is proud to present
its
"Summer Program" for South African Students for the fifth
time in January 2004. The first two years we were already able,
with the kind assistance of esATI, the Eastern Seaboard Association
of Tertiary Institutions inDurban, 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. Last year and in 2004, 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 2004"
just as much as your predecessors have in the first four years.
You will find that things are quite different here in Germany, and
this does not only apply to the weather and the food! I wish you
all a very successful program and hope that you will keep in touch
with us in the years to come. We had a very gratifying reunion with
participants from the first four groups in Stellenbosch last April,
and intend to arrange for another such meeting in the not-too-distant
future. We will then look forward to see many of you again there.
