University of Greifswald

Digital Summer Semester 2021

Due to steadily rising incidences, discouraging forecasts, an insufficient pace of vaccination, and hardly expected seasonal improvement effects, the University's Crisis Team has decided that study and teaching operations will be held digitally in summer semester 2021.

Extension of Current COVID-19 Regulations

The regulations stipulated in the decree issued by Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Ministry of Education on 17 April 2021 that study and teaching operations at universities will be held digitally for all students until further notice in summer semester 2021. This decree remains valid up until 11 May 2021.

Testimonial Kasia Dolata

‘Spending an ERASMUS semester in Greifswald was the best decision I could have made. The opportunity to gain so many new experiences, broaden my horizons and get to know people from many different countries have made my choice well worth it. The University of Greifswald provides excellent guidance and support to its ERASMUS+ students. There are so many trips and events on offer.’ (Kasia - Poland)
