ATTENDEES

Our Summer Course Innovation & Communication is designed for business and communications students at upper undergraduate or graduate level, both from Hochschule der Medien and from our partner institutions. You can find a full list of our partner universities here.

Does this apply to you? Wonderful—then why wait? Please contact your home university to inquire about your nomination. (For details, see the nomination process below.)

FEES & COSTS

There are no tuition fees for participating in the Summer Course. However, a participation fee of €300 applies. This fee covers a public transportation ticket for the entire Stuttgart area during the course period, allowing you to explore the city with ease. In addition, it includes a variety of social and cultural activities that we organize to help you connect with fellow students and make the most of your time in Germany.

ACCOMMODATION

We recommend participants to reserve a room at the Studierendenhotel Stuttgart:

  • Single room (shared bathroom): €43/night

  • Single room (ensuite): €61/night

  • Single room (queen-size bed, ensuite): €66/night

  • Double room for single use (ensuite): €81/night

All rates include Wi-Fi, TV, and breakfast. The hotel is centrally located with direct public transport to campus. Please note that the University will no longer be making room reservations on behalf of the students. Students are free to arrange their accommodation elsewhere if they prefer. The option presented here is simply an affordable alternative that we are familiar with and can recommend based on our own experience.
