Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen

1) The main language of instruction at the University of Tübingen is German. The University is, however, constantly increasing the amount of courses taught in English. Lists of these English-taught courses (updated shortly before each semester) are available on website (http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/en/76483). 2) Exchange students will be required to pay a non-waivable student services fee (currently around € 85 per semester) to the Studierendenwerk (governmental social service organization connected to German universities). The fee is mandatory for all students (also the German students) and subsidizes the semester bus ticket, meals at the cafeteria, rent at dormitories, kindergarten for students ́ children, as well as free psychological and legal advisors. 3) The student dormitories are not administered by the University, but by the so-called “Studierendenwerk”, the Student Services Organization, which is not affiliated with the University. However, the University of Tübingen has a yearly quota of rooms that are reserved solely for exchange students. This means that housing in the dormitories can practically be guaranteed, given that the student applies before the deadline (31 May for the Winter Semester, 31 December for the Summer Semester) 4) Students cannot take courses from all departments of the Faculty of Humanities. Only from the respective department and language courses. https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/faculties/faculty-of-humanities/departments/asian-and-oriental-studies/oriental-and-islamic-studies/department/
