International Fall Term at WFI
Discover the International Fall Term at WFI – A Unique Study Experience in Bavaria
The International Fall Term at the WFI Ingolstadt School of Management offers exchange students a compact, high-quality academic experience. From late September/October to December, participants can earn up to 30 ECTS. All courses, including exams, are completed before Christmas – ideal for those who have to return to their home university by January.
German Language Preparation
To help ease into life in Germany, we highly recommend enrolling in our pre-semester intensive German language course. Open to all levels, this course runs from late September to mid-October and helps students make the most of their time in Ingolstadt – both academically and socially. A course fee applies (ISEP scholarship holders are exempt).
Join a Diverse Student Community
International Fall Term participants learn side by side with both local and international students, creating an enriching intercultural experience.
How to Apply
Interested students must be nominated by their home university. Nominations should be sent by 15 May via e-mail to incoming(at)ku.de.
