Program Overview

Come with us to discover beautiful Munich, the secret capital of Germany. Learn German in a historic cultural center of Europe that today is Germany's favorite city for visitors and Germans alike. Munich is also Germany's most popular university city. 

UC's Summer Program in Munich is a language immersion program. Daily excursions in the city and into the nearby alpine region augment classroom instruction. Weekends include planned travel activities and research assignments in small groups. 

Earn 6 quarter hours in this intensive 3 week language program. Monday-Friday, the course work includes 2-3 hours of classroom instruction each day plus more relaxed conversation classes that take place while we visit cultural and historic sites in and around Munich. The intensive nature of the course enables you to develop your German language skills at a much higher rate than in an ordinary classroom setting.  The learning process continues both in and out of class even while you enjoy leisure time.

Eligibility
Any UC student in good standing who has completed the A&S language requirement in German (15-GRMN 101-103; or 15-GRMN-111-116) with a B-grade or higher. Students from other universities or high schools may also apply if they have achieved a comparable level of proficiency. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. The instructor makes the final decision about admittance into the program.
