Exchange Programs Hanshin University

Under the cooperation agreements between the Institute for German as a Foreign Language (IDF) at Heidelberg University and the German Department at Hanshin University, up to three exchange places are available each year for Heidelberg students for one or two semesters.

Students are sent to Hanshin University, Korea, for the following purposes:

  •  Study visit
  • Teaching placement in the Department of German Studies

Students from Heidelberg University can attend courses at Hanshin University free of charge. The language of instruction is generally Korean. There is also the option of taking Korean language courses free of charge. Students with an interest in Korean culture and language are particularly welcome to apply for the programme.
