The City of MarburgThe City is an attractive destination for students and tour-ists from around the world. The backdrop of the historic old town houses which have remained virtually unchanged for centuries towers high above the Lahn River Valley. Here you can stroll through the narrow, cobblestone streets and stop at a caf for passing time or meeting with friends for conversation or discussion. A popular tourist destination is Marburgs castle, enthroned high above the historic old town.

About the Curriculum and CalendarThe program is divided into three parts. You will start with your fi rst intensive German course for six weeks, then have a one-week break. Following the break youll take a second intensive language course for another six weeks, which is also followed by a one-week break.

The third part of the program is a comprehensive literature and reading course in German.

The German language courses are integrated in the on-going language courses at the Philipps-Universitt for international students who plan to continue their studies in Germany. Ex-cursions to various German cities supplement your class-room experience.
