Academic Year in Freiburg 2018/2019

Early Application Deadline

Academic Year in Freiburg 2018/2019

Friday, December 1: Early Application Deadline

The best way to get to know Germany really well is to live there for an extended time. Here is a recent article how studying abroad positively affects your career chances: https://www.iie.org/en/Why-IIE/Announcements/2017-10-02-Gaining-an-Employment-Edge

By studying in Freiburg for a year, you can practically earn all credits required for a German major and may possibly get distribution credits and credits towards a second major; and you will live in one of the most attractive and desired places in Germany. Sophomores are allowed to participate in this program.

Eligibility:
* Minimum 3.0 GPA
* Good academic standing
* Sophomore, Junior, or Senior standing by Fall 2018
* Completion of German 232 or equivalent prior to September 2018

The 2018/19 consortium program will be led by University of Michigan Professor Kerstin Barndt, who will also be teaching some of the courses. Feel free to contact her with questions: barndt@umich.edu! The program also has a very savvy Associate Director, who lives in Freiburg throughout the entire year.

Tuition for this year-long program is covered by a program fee ($7,500/semester), and students receive University of Michigan in-residence credit for the courses they take during the Academic Year in Freiburg. Students are not required to pay University of Michigan tuition during the year abroad. Additional costs include an administrative fee ($1,200), travel, room, and board. Students remain eligible for financial aid. In addition, the German Department will reduce the program fee for all applicants by $1,000 this year. Further funding opportunities (up to $3,000) are available from the department as well; to inquire, please contact germandept@umich.edu.

Apply early! The early application deadline (December 1) guarantees early consideration and advanced notice, making admitted students eligible to apply for further funding opportunities.

Please note: Although this program's application deadline is February 1, students who apply by December 1 will receive advanced notification of admission. Students will then be eligible to apply for the DAAD Undergraduate Scholarship, due January 31.

Even if you were not chosen for the DAAD Undergraduate Scholarship, LSA students in this program may be eligible for additional scholarships through the University of Michigan.
