This program, taught in English, deals with the general dynamics of European Integration and with the EU as a unique political system consisting of very diverse member states with distinct national cultures. The past decades have seen the emergence of a plethora of challenges that could threaten the community’s “we feeling” – hence, what held its societies together. Courses cover current European debates on the possibility of a European iden-tity and ask whether the EU is fit enough for the future. We will also get out of the classroom and meet with European politicians and experts in these fields.

In addition to these courses, the program offers students German language classes (for beginners (A1) and students who already possess some German skills (A1-A2)), an intercultural workshop that prepares participants for the very diverse setting in which all classes take place, a buddy program which matches each participant with local students who offer support throughout the summer school (and before), and a rich and varied social program that offers many opportunities to experience local and student life in one of Germany’s most historical university towns.
