Short-term Language Program

What is the short-term language program?

The short-term language program allows students to learn about foreign languages and cultures in a short period of time. It achieves this by dispatching students to several countries, such as English-speaking countries, China, Japan, Germany, France, and others, during their vacation period. This provides various overseas experiences and improves their language skills in line with the internationalization era.

There are three types of German language programs:

University of Munich Summer Program
Short-term language training at an international exchange center
DAAD-supported short-term language program
