Full-Year Program

If you really want to know Germany, live and breathe it for a year!

The JYM Full-Year Program begins late September with an On-Site Orientation and Language program, followed by enrollment at LMU Munich for the Wintersemester (WiSe). Classes at LMU Munich and at JYM begin mid-October and end early February. Following a two-month break (during which time most students either travel or have an internship), classes resume at LMU Munich and at JYM mid-April for the Sommersemester (SoSe), and conclude at the end of July. See Program Calendars for exact dates. The Application Deadline is March 15.

Spending an entire academic year abroad will be one of the most challenging, and yet most incredibly rewarding experiences to which you can commit yourself.

"When I first heard about JYM I thought, great! - I've found a quality year-long study abroad program in Germany. However, after being here for almost a year, I see it's more than just a study abroad program you're signing up for — it's unbelievable life changes that you just can't get from studying a foreign language at home. JYM provides not only education, but a life-style. You become not just another study abroad program participant, but a "German" student for a year: you live in German student housing, and go to their university. When I think what I have gained from this program, words can not say how amazing it is — not only have I learned the language, but I have totally immersed myself in a different culture, and gained perspectives and experiences that will stay with me the rest of my life." (Greta, College of St. Benedict & St. John's University)
