International Summer and Spring Schools
Would you like to get a taste of international life for a few weeks during the semester break? Then the numerous international short programs offered by many higher education institutions worldwide are just the right option for you. Intensive short study programs take place during the spring or summer breaks, offering courses on specific topics or subjects over a period of four weeks, for example. You will often have the opportunity to obtain ECTS credits that can possibly be recognized for your program of study at the University of Mannheim.
Applying
Applications must be submitted directly to the respective higher education institution, i.e., the International Office of the University of Mannheim does not carry out any registrations and/
or nominations. This is particularly relevant if the partner university offers tuition-free participation in the respective Summer School program on the basis of exchange places. Unfortunately, this is not possible because tuition-free exchange places are only available for the university's regular semester exchange programs. In very few exceptional cases, individual schools at the University of Mannheim (e.g., the School of Social Sciences) inform their students about Summer School programs offered by partner universities for which a reduction in fees has been agreed upon and nomination is carried out by the respective school in Mannheim. For further information, please contact the contact persons at your school.
Costs
You will usually have to pay a fee for participation in a Summer or Spring School. Prices can vary greatly from country to country and from institution to institution. Unfortunately, as a rule, the University of Mannheim cannot cover tuition fees or other costs.
Exception: Participation in the ENGAGE.EU Summer Schools allows you to apply for funding through the Erasmus+ program.
ENGAGE.EU Summer / Winter School
ENGAGE.EU is an alliance of leading European higher education institutions from the fields of Economics and Business Administration as well as Social Sciences with extensive experience in analyzing social change that aims to empower students to act as socially engaged European citizens and to have an impact on society as a whole.
The ENGAGE.EU Summer Schools and ENGAGE.EU Winter Schools are intensive, summer or winter programs led by professors and teachers from the ENGAGE.EU universities that usually last two weeks. The programs provide a forum for interdisciplinary academic exchange and equip students with hard and soft skills that they can use during their degree programs as well as in their future careers.
Participation in an ENGAGE Summer/
Winter School is eligible for Erasmus funding through the University of Mannheim. The grant amounts to EUR 79 per day of stay plus, if applicable, a grant for travel expenses for 'green traveling' (EUR 50 plus up to four additional daily allowances). If you have any questions about the Erasmus grant, please contact Gela Wittenberg. ENGAGE.EU Winter School: Law & Policy for the Anthropocene

During my master's program, I spent one month in Singapore attending a summer university course on “Entrepreneurial Accounting & Finance” at Nanyang Technological University. I could not only expand my knowledge on topics relating to incorporating start-up companies, but also had the chance to learn a lot about cultural differences in incorporating and managing start-ups in Southeast Asia and China. It was also impressive to get to know the city-state of Singapore and its political and cultural peculiarities.
