Germany doesn’t fit
in a brochure.
So don’t just visit it.
An exchange program in Hamburg for international students — real German school, real German language, real German history and everyday life. Not a tour. A term, a semester, or a year of actually living it.
A real city.
Not a tourist stop.
Hamburg is one of Germany’s largest and most international cities — canals, harbor, real neighborhoods, real German teenagers going to real German schools. It’s the kind of place you actually learn a country from, not just photograph it.
With myWelt, the program bends around what you’re actually here for — mastering the language, understanding the history, or simply figuring out how life works somewhere else entirely. Make it yours.
What Your Exchange Actually Looks Like.
Four stages, in order — this is the shape of every myWelt exchange, start to finish.
German High School
You’re enrolled in a real Gymnasium, in real classes, next to real German students — not a program built just for exchange students.
German Language
Language happens the way it actually sticks — in the classroom, at the dinner table, in the hallway — not just from a workbook.
German History
Guided visits to the places that actually hold the country’s history — Hamburg’s own past included — so it stops being a textbook chapter.
Everyday German Life
Meals, routines, small talk, small traditions — the details no brochure explains, absorbed simply by living them for a while.
Your home in Hamburg:
Little Boardinghaus.
You’re not on your own here. Little Boardinghaus is myWelt’s own residence in Hamburg — a home, not a hotel — run by a dedicated house manager who takes care of registration, school liaison, meals, homework, and the house rules that keep it all running smoothly.
