The Brock/Trent/McMaster Programme has as its goal the development of
language proficiency through the study of both German language and
literature. Classes are offered by both the Canadian Resident Director and
by German instructors from the University of Freiburg. But life does not
consist of classes alone: students will be given the opportunity to
participate in the many cultural events in the city and the university.
Our programme in Freiburg begins in early September with immersion classes
designed to bridge the gap between Canada and Germany. During this time
you will get to know the city itself as well as some of its landmarks and
places of interest. A short few days in a Black Forest house will
highlight the early weeks of our sojourn in Freiburg. With the opening of
term in mid-October, classes begin in earnest. Students enrolled in the
programme may take the equivalent of five full courses, selecting from a
wide variety of offerings from both the resident director and the
instructors of the University of Freiburg. It is likely that most students
will want to pursue their German studies, but it is also possible to take
courses in virtually any other area offered by the university, provided,
of course, that language is not a barrier to a fruitful pursuit of these
areas.
