International Summer / Winter University Kassel , Germany

With the motto “Sustainable Environment | Cultural Heritage | Student Potential. WE CARE”, the International Summer University (ISU) and the International Winter University (IWU) Kassel feature the strengths of the University of Kassel (Uni Kassel) in environmental sciences and German language & culture. International students interested in the two subject areas are particularly welcome to join the programs.

Centrally located in the picturesque city of Kassel, where the Brothers Grimm collected the famous “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” and Arnold Bode initiated the world famous contemporary art exhibition “documenta”, Uni Kassel holds some of the most significant cultural heritage in Germany and is therefore an ideal place for studying German language and culture.

Being a young and dynamic university founded in 1971, Uni Kassel also plays a leading role in environmental engineering in Germany through its active involvement in academic research and knowledge transfer. Graduates of the environmental science programs of the University have been movers and shakers of renewable energy development worldwide.

ISU and IWU Kassel now invite students from around the world to personally experience the strength and uniqueness of Uni Kassel showcased in the intensive programs taught in English (optionally in German).

With an annual admission of around 60 students per program, it is the uniqueness of ISU and IWU that the visiting students are fully integrated into the local community. During the 3-4 weeks of stay in Kassel , students will be engaged not only in inspiring academic seminars, but also multifarious cultural and social activities. The joint efforts of the organizing teams, teaching staff, host families and tandem partners have constantly win the hearts and minds of the participants by taking care of the individual needs and potentials of the students. The DAAD quality seal awarded to IWU further speaks for the quality of the program.

Students looking for their first experience studying abroad will find ISU and IWU a comfortable first step forward.
