Universität Konstanz
 
The University of Constance was formed in 1966 as a “radical experiment” in education, replacing traditional lectures with smaller seminars, student interaction, and research-based teaching. The campus architecture reflects those ideals.


A wide range of courses from German culture and European politics to econ to engineering will give you plenty to sprachen about.

Course Highlights:
Live and learn with local German students.
If you're worried about keeping up, never fear: you will spiff up your German language skills during our preliminary program.
Your excursions include trips to Mainau Island on Lake Constance, the Swiss Alps, and major cultural centers like Munich and Zurich.

  • There’s no denying it: Constance is quintessentially quaint. This charming city, flower-laden and misty, is full of historic landmarks and postcard-perfect plazas where you can shop or grab some kaffee und kuchen.

    But don’t let the ah-factor fool you. Constance is also a hip resort area, where thousands come to play on the shores of Lake Constance or ski and hike the nearby Swiss Alps.



    When night falls, you’ll discover smoky cafés where students debate the latest trends in German cinema, or dance clubs where the techno beat pounds away the Saturday nights. Tourists, students, and locals alike enjoy the traditional biergartens, where you can sample the local brands and dine under the chestnut trees. Like the city, the University of Constance ain’t as quaint as it seems. Almost shockingly, the university stands in contrast to the medieval city, with its artsy buildings and the latest high-tech facilities. Chat with your new German friends, ramble in the bordering woods after class, or do your homework on the pristine campus lawns.
