When it comes to studying abroad, one often thinks of several months. There is the opportunity to spend just a few weeks abroad – and gain international experience at the same time! Would you like to go abroad, but not for a whole semester? Then a summer school or a language course abroad is the right choice.

Summer Schools Abroad
Summer schools are the international flagship of universities and offer many opportunities: immerse yourself in campus life abroad and take courses together with international students - without committing yourself to one country for an entire semester. In a short time you will gain international experience, get to know a specialist topic from a global perspective and make new contacts. The programmes often take place during the semester break and last about one to three weeks. Language courses and an appealing leisure programme round off the diverse range of offers so that you can get to know the country even better. In addition, the courses attended can be credited to your studies.
Summer schools are ideal if you want to enjoy many advantages of a stay abroad at once:
Cheap and short-term opportunity to go abroad
Get to know campus life abroad
Build up an international circle of friends
Certificate for your CV
Intercultural experiences and soft skills
Credit points for your degree programme
