International Summer and Spring Schools
You want to get a taste of living abroad during the semester break and broaden your academic horizon? Then the numerous short-term programs offered by many institutions worldwide during the spring or summer breaks might just be right for you. They are short, intensive courses on a specific topic or subject which take place over four weeks, for example. You will often be able to obtain ECTS credits that can possibly be recognized for your program of study at the University of Mannheim.
Fees
You will usually have to pay a fee for summer and spring schools. Costs may vary considerably depending on the respective country and/
or institution. Unfortunately, the University of Mannheim cannot cover these tuition fees or other costs in most cases. Exception:
For ENGAGE Summer Schools, you can apply for funding via the Erasmus program.
Application
Applications have to submitted directly to the respective institution. There is no nomination or registration carried out by the International Office of the University of Mannheim. This is especially important to keep in mind if the partner institution offers free participation in the summer school via exchange study places. Participating in this way is generally not possible, since the study places including an exemption from tuition fees are only used for the regular exchange programs at the University of Mannheim.
In exceptional cases, individual Mannheim schools (e.g. SOWI) actively inform their students about Summer School offers from partner universities for which a reduction in fees has been agreed and a nomination is made by the Mannheim faculty. Further information can be obtained from the contact persons of your school.
