Study in German:
If you are a student of German, ready to take courses in German, great!--you can consider any of the campuses. Course offerings vary by campus.  Some campuses offer German as a Foreign Language program for non-native speakers.  At others, you will have a total immersion experience, taking all of your classes in German, in the regular German university setting. 

Because German universities publish class schedules only weeks before the semester begins, you will need to be flexible with your course schedule

ACADEMIC CALENDAR
* The University of Marburg IUSP and the HS-Fulda social work programs run on a calendar compatible with U.S. universities.

In general, the German academic calendar runs from October through July. First semester (Wintersemester) runs October through February; second semester (Sommersemester) is March through July. Full year or spring semester exchange are possible at most Hessen universities. Exact dates vary by campus.
