It is our goal to give a representative overview of the cultural, political, artistic, historic and especially of modern life in Germany. For us, the meeting of foreign and German students is the most important. We organise a broad culture and leisure programme, including trips to cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Munich and also to the surroundings of Dresden. Additionally, visits to museums, concerts and festivals are offered as well as cultural tandems. The Cultural Office s Facebook Page has daily updates for Dresden and its surroundings.

I was able to come up with a course plan together with my supervisor there that perfectly matched my agenda. Thus, my studies became like a hobby for me and I was looking forward to each lecture. NATHALIE KÄTHER Wrocław or Breslau, as it is more commonly known in German, is a young, dynamic and interesting city that is very worth seeing. The university s big advantage is that thanks to small groups it was very easy to get in contact with teaching staff and also fellow students. Furthermore, I heartily recommend attending the Polish language course that is offered. I was very sceptical at first, but was positively surprised how much one can learn during one semester. I was able to understand many things in my everyday life pretty soon. JOHANNES BENDUHN STUDYING ABROAD
