Canadian Summer School in Germany 2021

The Canadian Summer School in Germany (CSSG) offers university-level language courses in Kassel in a unique and intensive cultural immersion program. All courses are equivalent to a full-year course and the course credits are transferable to all Canadian and U.S. institutions.

The CSSG is administered by Saint Mary's University and offers courses at almost-beginner, intermediate, advanced, and upper-advanced levels. Over 7 weeks, students receive 85 hours of classroom instruction and participate in numerous cultural activities: presentations at museums, visits to theatres and operas, sporting events, excursions to cities with cultural and historical significance, and a four-day trip to Berlin.

The main appeal of our program is how we combine the academic study of German language with immersion in German daily life and culture. Students are both welcomed into a German host family and matched with tandem partners from various disciplines at the University of Kassel. We take care to match students based on their hobbies, interests, and studies. 

For more information please visit the CSSG website.
