Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg

The Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, officially the University of Freiburg, is a public research university in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The Habsburg dynasty established the university in 1457 as the second university in Austrian-Habsburg territory after the University of Vienna. Freiburg is now Germany's fifth-oldest university, with a long tradition of teaching humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and technology, and it has a strong academic reputation both nationally and internationally. The university has 11 faculties and attracts students from all over Germany as well as more than 120 other countries. Foreign students account for approximately 18.2 percent of total student enrollment.

Since 1911, the University of Freiburg has offered German language courses to international students. During the semester breaks, the courses are held at the university's Language Teaching Centre and attract students from over 50 countries. The intensive language lessons are supplemented by a supplementary program that includes lectures and seminars on German culture, politics, philosophy, and art, as well as excursions to the Black Forest, France's Alsace region, Basel (Switzerland), and Lake Constance. Professional German courses (e.g., business German) are available in addition to classes for all language levels.
