[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are classes in Germany required to be in English? My son wants to study aboard,  but he can’t find it anywhere if there a law or something requiring classes to be in English? How else will someone attend school there?  Will they have a translator to him ?[/quote]

There are programs abroad that cover a wide range. If you hope to do it in the school year and get credit - your son's options will depend on what their school supports. Some schools have strict rules, others don't - and in some cases the rules vary by major (for example an international relations study abroad requirement is likely to require you do a program that uses the host country's language).

So - as others have said - your son needs to visit his school's study abroad office and tell them what he's hoping to do.  You may have more options if he chooses a summer program and is willing to do it without getting college credit for his own college.  Many times the credit is all considered electives.

The best scenario is when your own college runs a program abroad and the courses count fully towards your own university.

Unlike others have said above - there ARE students who take courses abroad at a foreign university using that university's home language. But even in those situations, the mechanism to do that is usually run by an american (or international) college or organization....you're unlikely to be applying directly to that foreign university....but to some organization that helps to run a program for foreign students to come for a semester or a summer or whatever.

Good luck. Study abroad is such a great experience and he's lucky you are willing to support him in this.[/quote]
