Why do we offer this programme?
We have often heard from those visiting Germany or
studying German that it is hard to decide between "Romantic
Germany" and "the exciting atmosphere of a
metropolis". By choosing this programme
you won’t
have to rule out either option, allowing you to enjoy
the advantages of both. If you are short of time
and would welcome the chance of having somebody to organize
and prepare everything for you, this programme will be
of particular benefit to you -
- High quality teaching in both places
- Standardized teaching methods based on the Common European Frame Work of Languages
- Attractive recreational programme in both places
- Comfortable train connections with the German Rail between Bamberg and Vienna
- Organization and enrolments are handled by one centre
