Eligibility

To take part in the IKI Vienna program, students must have already applied to the year-long programs at either Karlsruhe or Stuttgart, Germany, as the Vienna summer program is ideal for students accepted to these programs yet do not have the necessary German language proficiency to be admitted to the German institution without additional language training.

Language Requirement

To be accepted to the Stuttgart or Karlsruhe programs, KU students are expected to have at least 200 hours of German language training at the university-level prior to arrival at the German institution.  Students who have not yet met the language requirement are required to register for language training at IKI Vienna.  

Length of Study

KU Students with no previous study of German must take at least 3 months (June, July & August) of language training.  Students with some previous German experience should contact the Office of Study Abroad to determine how much language training in Vienna may still be required, if any, to be admitted to the German institution.

Dates and costs for Vienna are listed on the IKI site at:

Summer 2021 Participant
Vienna is located in the center of Europe and is known as a cultural hub of the continent. This program allows you to live and go to class in the heart of the city center within the famous Ringstrasse. Because of this, I was able to do so much in the city: different Fests every weekend, plenty of clubs, and many friendly international students.

Summer 2021 Participant
The most rewarding element of the program was being able to meet so many people from all over the world who are in the same position as you: struggling to learn German. Nevertheless, you will all be able to figure it out together!

Summer 2021 Participant
I learned that public transportation will be your best friend. Vienna has a modern transportation system and several different modes of transport. My advice would be to purchase the monthly pass, it is certainly worth it and will save you money.
