With over 30,000 students in relation to a population of 75,000 inhabitants Giessen is the town with the highest ratio of students all over Germany - and you, too, can become part of this student body by signing up for our International Summer Course. You will meet your fellow students even before the start of lectures. For more than twenty years we have been happy to provide international students and visitors with personal counselling and to prepare undergraduate and postgraduate students and visiting researchers and teachers from all over the world for academic and everyday life at Justus Liebig University and in Giessen. Within four weeks we will explore all aspects of campus life as well as the culture and lifestyle of the city of Giessen. Workshops will help you to get started with the German language or to brush up your German.
No matter where you are from – we will make sure that you feel at home right from the start!

“The year I spent in Giessen was the best I’ve ever had! Giessen not only has a good university covering a wide range of degree subjects so that there is no limit to what you can learn, student life at Justus Liebig University is just fantastic! Giessen and the state of Hesse generally both have the great virtue of lying smack in the middle of Germany. When you’re studying in Giessen, it only takes a short – and free – hop down to Frankfurt by train and you are able to travel anywhere throughout Germany and Europe.....I guarantee you – it’ll be the best time of your life, too!”. Shawn Wells, University of Idaho, USA
