12 WEEKS COLLEGE
September team from 27.09-26 – 18.12.2026
Do you want your plans for the fall to be a little different?
Maybe you didn't get into your dream university. Maybe you've felt like trying something completely different. Or maybe the idea of college has only just arisen.
Fortunately, it is not too late.
In September, you can start a 12-week college stay filled with sports, new friends, experiences and a strong community. An obvious option if you have a gap in your calendar – or just feel like you want an autumn you will remember.
There are only a limited number of places for the start of September, and they are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have any questions or are unsure whether a college is right for you, we are here to help.

Frequently asked questions
Can I reach the community?
Yes, absolutely. Even though the other students have already been at the college for a few weeks, there is plenty of time to become part of the community. We have plenty of experience with 12-week stays and with getting new students well into college life. We make it a point that you quickly get to know the other students and become part of the community.
You might be surprised at how little time passes before it feels like you've always been here.
How do I get off to a good start?
Yes. When you start, you will be assigned a buddy among the students who are already at the college. Your buddy will help you with all the practical things, but more importantly, your buddy will help you integrate into the community.
That way, you quickly get to know a lot of new people and become a natural part of college life.
How old are the students?
The age of our college students typically ranges from 18 to their late 20s. So you meet people of different ages here, but you quickly forget that once college life gets going. The community is diverse in terms of age, major, and interests.
Can I still be part of the teaching?
Yes. You can easily start classes even if the school year has already started. Our teachers will help you get into your subject and the other activities, so that you quickly feel like part of the team.
What should I bring?
Before you start, you will receive the practical information you need – including what to pack, arrival and life at the college. And if you have any questions, you are always welcome to contact us.
Is 12 weeks enough?
Yes! An incredible amount can happen in 12 weeks. You get teaching, sports, community, new friendships, college evenings, weekends and trips – and lots of the little moments in between that help make a college stay something special.
And if you get so hooked on college life that 12 weeks isn't enough, you have the option to extend your stay by six months and enjoy all the spring experiences as well.
