About the country

About Germany

Germany, in central Europe, is a many-sided country with historic cities, a strong industrial base and a landscape that stretches from the North Sea and Baltic coasts to the Alps. The official language is German. Berlin's creative, cosmopolitan feel, Munich's Bavarian traditions, Hamburg's identity as a port city and Freiburg's university-town atmosphere near the Black Forest show how much the country changes from region to region.

German is at the heart of programmes in Germany: general German, Business German, academic German and exam preparation lead the way, and some centres also offer General English. Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt offer big-city options, while Freiburg and Augsburg suit those looking for a calmer pace. German is also an important step for anyone aiming at university study or professional development in Germany.

  • Schools in major cities such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt

  • Options from short intensive courses to long-term programmes

Life and climate

GermanyCapital: Berlin

Climate

Temperate climate: mild to warm summers and cold winters. The influence of the sea is stronger in the north, while winters can be harsher in the south and east.

Student life

Big cities have extensive public transport made up of U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams and buses, and cycling is common. Museums, parks, summer festivals and Christmas markets are part of social life; it is worth remembering that many shops are closed on Sundays.
