Scheduling

Winter Semester, Summer Semester or a Whole Exchange Year?

The decision as to whether you come to Regensburg for the winter semester, summer semester or a whole year certainly depends on many factors. However, if you have the opportunity, we recommend that you stay for a whole year. Experience has shown that the personal, linguistic and academic progress made during a year-long stay is significantly greater.
