International Summer University

Welcome to the Hessen International Summer University (ISU) at Hochschule Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.

The ISU 2025 will take place from June 21 until July 17, 2025 in Darmstadt, Germany. Before arriving in Darmstadt, participants will be part of a virtual group project starting in late May 2024.  You can choose to take part in one of the following courses: 

1) Climate-Friendly Societies: Energy Policy, Management and Engineering

2) Sustainable Supply Chains

Please click on the course you are interested in to learn more about the content and to download the course syllabus for 2024. The course content for the 2025 courses will be very similar and will be published soon. 

Have a look the ISU 2024 schedule to get an idea of the program. The preliminary schedule for the ISU 2025 will be posted in early 2025.  

Get the most out of your summer and join us for a summer school in the heart of Germany. Our short-term program combines an academic course with a German language course and several social and leisure activities. The ISU is a unique opportunity to learn more about sustainability from a German perspective and to be part of a truly international experience.
