Short Term Programs and Summer Schools Abroad

 

It doesn't always have to be a semester abroad. Summer or Winter Schools are a great alternative for anyone who wants to have the experience of studying abroad, but who don't have the time to invest an entire semester in doing so.

 

Universities worldwide offer specialized courses as well as language courses, especially in the summer months. On the Summer Schools in Europe website you can find exciting programs throughout Europe - and with a little research, you can also find great options worldwide. The offers range from one-week to a maximum of two-month programs. A few summer schools, especially those from partner universities, are free of charge, while others have costs.

 

 

Below you will find a list of programs offered by our partner institutions. Please note that the places available to HdM students wishing to participate in summer courses are limited. If you wish to apply for a Summer Course abroad the first step is to contact the HdM International Office by email providing the following information and documentation when you make contact: name of the summer course, your name and surname, course of studies at HdM, semester (at the time when the summer course is taking place), letter of motivation, copy of your academic transcript and a copy of your OOPT-result. If you have found a program outside of our partner network (there are hundreds of options across the globe!), or if your desired program is not listed below, please contact the International Office by email.
