The Hessen International Summer University (ISU) is organized by Hochschule Darmstadt, one of the biggest Universities of Applied Sciences in Germany. During the four-week intensive English programme, scientific knowledge will be enhanced by practical learning with hands-on experiences. The offered courses provide students with the opportunity to extend their network and establish valuable contacts for their future career. The ISU is a joint project of the Hessen institutions of higher learning and is funded by the Hessen Ministry of Higher Education, Research and the Arts.
