Katholische Universität Eichstätt Semester
Introduction
In the heart of Bavaria, in an idyllic village setting, lies the only Catholic university in Germany - the Katholische Universität. Though a young university, KU has been built on centuries of scholarship in philosophy and theology carried out on the same site. As is the practice in European countries, the Catholic University of Eichstätt is part of the state universities in Germany; it is also part of the brotherhood of Catholic universities around the world, including The Catholic University of America.
The nature park Altmühltal, located near Eichstätt, is well-known to sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. The relative seclusion of Eichstätt provides an unparalleled opportunity for learning and practicing German, while at the same time its connectedness makes traveling easy.
