Short-term Programs/Summer Schools: the sensible alternative to a vacation

Many universities offer courses for external students during the lecture-free period - usually in the summer. The denomination for these courses is "Summer Schools". Summer Schools are particularly widespread in Anglo-American countries, but the number of courses on offer is now also increasing in non-English-speaking countries within and outside Europe. Occasionally, courses are also offered under the term "Winter Schools".

In addition to a semester or internship abroad, summer schools are an excellent opportunity to gain (further) experience abroad and improve your English language skills!
