In cooperation with the Hochschule Bremen's
International Summer School of German Language, Culture and Business, UNCW will offer
students an opportunity to take a German language course at any level.
The program begins in Bonn for a
four-day stay in the scenic Rhineland, with excursions to Cologne and the
castles and wine villages of the historic Rhine valley. The excursion is
organized by the Academy for International
Education. The program
then moves to Bremen. Bremen is well suited for UNCW
students as it is also a port city with a rich historical and cultural tradition. The
program in Bremen includes a city tour, a concert, plant tours, field trips, and two
excursions to neighboring cities, such as Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Hamlin.
The HB is comparable to a four year university and masters program in the U.S. and, specifically, to UNCW due to its small size (about 7,000 students), excellent academic image, and acceptance by employers for providing quality experiences (internships, international focus) that are career oriented.
The city of Bremen, in northern Germany, boasts a thousand year history and now covers about 404 square kilometres with a population of about 684,000. International trade has molded the character of the city for centuries and this legacy is reflected in the modern ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven. Major industries, such as coffee, beer, automobiles, and aerospace technology thrive in Bremen, offering excellent internship opportunities for exchange students. The charming old quarter, renaissance facades of the market square, and the nearby artists' colony contribute to the cultural wealth of Bremen.
Three levels of German: 27 hours per week for beginners, 20 hrs for intermediate and 16 hrs for advanced. Classes taught by instructors from the Hochschule and are attended by students from over 25 countries.
