Live and Study in the Medieval City of Quedlinburg

Students from Texas Tech can live and learn German in the UNESCO world heritage cultural site of  Quedlinburg in the Eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt. Texas students will be housed with families in a city which truly welcomes this program and these students.

Students can complete the first four semesters of German in ONE semester OR take a range of upper division German courses, and independent study courses in their other major/minor fields via distance. This location is ideal for studying history, architecture, art, music, political science, international relations - just to name a few! The class time, discussion sections, class projects and activities will focus on language, culture and community.

There will be regularly scheduled outings to surrounding cities and areas of Germany. Students will have daily contact with their Quedlinburg host families and further interaction with the community will occur through group/individual research projects and through a meal ticket program with local restaurants. Students will be able to take public transportation around Quedlinburg and to neighboring towns and areas.

Visiting parents are welcome, especially after mid-term. Especially interesting for them would be the last weekend of the fall-program which is free for visiting the many courtyards turned into numerous Christmas markets throughout the inner city.
