If you like the idea of studying your academic subject in an international way but don't want to or can't commit to a year-long placement, then you should consider a summer school programme taught at one of our partner universities for a shorter period of time in the summer.

You’ll see that some of the summer school programmes listed are non-subject specific (open to everyone) and some are more focused on specific fields of study- there really is an option for everyone!

Additionally you can also search for summer schools in Europe.
