Accommodation

We ask you to organize your own accommodation.

Find below a list of inexpensive student accommodation and convenient hotels in Stuttgart:

For more hotels and guesthouses, check sites like booking.com or hrs.com

Alternatively, contact one of the B&B agencies in the area. Agencies with an inquiry form in English include B&B happy or Schwaben-Stern.

We recommend you to reserve your accommodation as soon as possible, especially if you prefer a rather economical option.

 

Catering

Summer School participants have access to the courtesy "Summer School Café" during refreshment breaks, serving free hot/cold beverages, biscuits and fruits.

Lunch, however, is not included, so bring your own, or get something from one of the (rather basic) eateries around the university.

 

Certificates

Summer School participants will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the workshop.

 

Credits / ECTS

If you wish to earn academic credit points (European Credit Transfer System - ECTS) for your course, we recommend that you check your home university's foreign credit transfer policies. Upon successful completions of all assignments, you will receive a Transcript of Records which states the workshop(s) attended, your grade(s) and credits earned.
