Description

During the Springsemester, the Kentucky Institute for International Studies will offer a five-month program in Regensburg, Germany. Regensburg is located in the eastern part of the state of Bavaria, 1/2 hours north of Munich. With its two thousand years of history, and almost completely undestroyed city core, it offers a great variety of sites and places of interest.

Highlights

The program is designed for intermediate- and upper-level German language students and requires that students have at least two years of college-level German or the equivalent. The intention of the program is to allow students the ability to experience German culture and not just observe it from the outside. Regensburg is the ideal setting for such a program--it combines the advantages of a larger city with the comfort, familiarity, and charm of a rural area.
