Philipps-Universität Marburg

International Undergraduate Study Program (in English) - ISEP Direct

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Marburg offers an International Undergraduate Studies Program (IUSP) which allows a student to spend a semester studying intensive German language alongside a selection of regular university courses taught mainly in English.

Students may choose from courses taught in a variety of fields with an international spectrum of concentration.

No previous German language is required since the language courses are taught at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The IUSP program also incorporates a cultural program with excursions and weekend trips to important historical and cultural sites. 

HOUSING:

Students will be accommodated in university dormitories in the city center, in a single room with shared bathrooms and kitchens.

MEALS

A full meal plan is not included in the program fee, however all students will receive a stipend of EUR 200 per semester for meals in the form of a cafeteria debit card. This card can be used in student cafeterias (Mensa) as well as on campus for printing and other services. All ISEP students will be expected to budget for their meals accordingly, and can ask their ISEP Student Services Coordinator for tips, as well as check out ISEP's resources for Budgeting for Study Abroad.
