A multifaceted freetime program rounds out your summer course and you can readily try out your newly gained German skills. Field trips and excursions are prepared and accompanied by people who know Dresden well. You will have the opportunity to meet interesting people and places around Dresden. This way you can experience face-to-face a living and authentic Germany.

Your German summer course starts everyday at 9.30 am. There is a break from 10.30 to 11.00 am, where you can rest the mind from intensive learning and check emails or talk with your classmates from around the world.

Transfers

Dresden has both an international train station and airport. Often however, it is more cost effective to travel into Berlin or Leipzig, whereby a transfer would be the best option. For example, it's just 90 minutes by car or train from Berlin to Dresden.
Additionally:
- pick up from airport/train station Dresden = 50 EUR
- pick up (by train) from airport/train station Berlin, Leipzig = 150 EUR
- pick up (by train) airport/train station Frankfurt a.M. = 195 EUR (all 1 way)
- Health, accident and liability Insurance= 29 EUR
