Description

With both unsurpassed beauty and one of the warmest climates in Germany, the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg is located in a picturesque valley on the western border of the Black Forest. Founded in 1457, it is the second oldest university in Germany and is filled with historic sights. Students may enroll directly with German students and follow courses in the liberal arts or participate in a robust program of German language instruction. Learn the German language while speaking and exploring Germany first hand, not just reading about it in a book like you would back home.
