About the University of Education Freiburg

Research, teaching and promotion of young scientists 

Research, teaching and the promotion of young researchers are closely intertwined at the Freiburg University of Education, because teaching and learning are both the core of university teaching and the primary research interest. The university offers broad support for academic qualification and professional positioning, which is designed and organized cooperatively by thematically specialized institutions. The university also wants to be a point of contact and a source of inspiration for exchange and ideas on the cross-cutting topic of inclusion. The university sees its mission in offering education for all ages. Family justice and a wide range of corporate health management measures guarantee the compatibility of work and family and ensure good working conditions and a high quality of life at the workplace. 

CSU IP's programs in Germany are administered by full-time local CSU staff. The program begins with an intensive six-week Intensive Language Program (ILP) in Horb, a small town near Tübingen. The ILP is a German language and culture course focusing on grammar, composition, and conversation, as well as an introduction to German culture. Students then move to Freiburg to continue their studies and enroll in one German course in addition to other coursework.
