Each semester, we offer a select few local students the opportunity to take part in the course through our scholarship programme.
You must be a national of the country of study to be eligible.
The deadline to apply is 1 June for the autumn semester, and 1 November for the spring semester.
Curious about studying abroad?
Each semester, students take over our TikTok and Instagram accounts. See what you can experiences as a Kulturstudier student!
As a student, you have greater responsibility for your own learning but also more freedom in how you conduct your studies than in high school.
We consider cultural experiences during leisure time to be a key part of learning.
Besides the activities, workshops, and excursions we organize, you are free to explore independently during afternoons and weekends. You'll also have a long weekend in the middle of the study period that allows for longer excursions.
While studies can be demanding, with good habits and consistent effort, you'll have enough free time to enjoy.
Paragliding, yoga, mountain hikes, music festivals, cooking classes—the opportunities for fun and educational activities are endless.
Each study country provides numerous chances to try new things. Whether you’ve always wanted to learn to surf or dance the tango, you have the chance to check off items on your bucket list.
Many students also volunteer, with our local staff able to connect you with reputable organizations.
All Kulturstudier students share at least one thing in common: a love for travel! Besides taking shorter excursions during the semester, you can explore other countries in the region once classes finish.
If you're considering backpacking after the semester but need travel companions, you're not alone.
Many students arrive at their study location without a set itinerary but with a strong desire to travel. Most do not know each other prior to the semester, but often they come together to plan trips as they get to know one another.
Feel free to ask us for travel recommendations near your study country.
