Whatever your major, whatever your interest, JYM has a program for you. JYM programs allow you to experience what it is like to live in Europe and study at one of Germany's premier universities - LMU Munich. And you'll do it just as German university students do.

JYM offers academic year and semester programs. You may customize your study abroad experience by combining coursework at LMU Munich and/or JYM with an independent research project, an internship, or by taking part in our Honors Program for the Study of European Ideas.
