However since the International Summer Program is unable to accept more than 80 students, early applications are encouraged. Applicants must have completed two years of work at college or university level in their countries of residence or have an educational background equivalent to one year at an European university. Official copies of transcripts from each institution attended must be submitted with the application. Students whose native language is not English must submit evidence of proficiency with their application. Applicants should also note that certain courses have prerequisites.
All courses focus on the emerging New Europe.
They deal with political, economic, legal, and cultural aspects of the multiple transformations the continent is currently undergoing. Each course includes two transdisciplinary evening seminars, in which professors from different fields will jointly discuss topical subjects with their students. Taken as a whole, the program offers a concise and up to date introduction to recent developments in Europe which will provide students from different fields of study with an additional key qualification for their future professional work. Students may also enroll or audit additional courses. 6 courses with 30 contact hours each are offered during each session.
