ESC Heidelberg Summer STEM Program Launching in 2027

Herzlich Willkommen in Heidelberg!

We are excited to share the launch of our new ESC Heidelberg Summer STEM Program, giving students the opportunity to study in one of Europe’s leading university cities while combining academic learning with cultural exploration and professional discovery. Heidelberg has been an important part of CEPA’s story since 2011, when we opened our first program in the city.

Program Details

We are opening a 6 1/2-week program in Summer 2027 (mid-May to early-July) and has been intentionally designed to be an academically rigorous and affordable experience, with meaningful engagement in local and European culture.

Highlights include:

• $7,995 program fee, with Affiliate Grants and scholarship opportunities available through the CEPA Foundation
• Up to 7 U.S. credits, featuring core STEM courses plus an elective focused on the history, culture and science of beer brewing in Germany
• Modern student housing, just a 10-minute walk from the CEPA ESC, with all participants living in the same residence.
• An unlimited public transportation and regional train rail pass for Germany
• 3 included excursions – including one to France – that combine cultural experiences with STEM-focused visits
• A co-curricular program highlighting career pathways and Germany’s automobile industry

More details including course syllabi, information about student housing, program inclusions, scholarships, and sustainability can be found here on our website:
