International Summer Program 2010 of the Sommerhochschule of the University of Vienna

The International Summer Program 2010 will take place from July 17th to August 14th 2010.
The four week program offers high level European Studies courses in the morning and German language courses in the afternoon.

The European Studies courses are held in English and focus on the emerging New Europe. They cover political, economic, and legal, but also historical and cultural aspects of the multiple transformations the continent is currently undergoing.

Given the international and interdisciplinary aspect of the International Summer Program our course offerings are, without question, of interest for students from all fields of study, but certainly of special interest for students who concentrate on Europe or study one of the following fields: European Studies, Cultural Studies, History, International Relations, Interdisciplinary Studies, Law (International Law, European Law, Comparative Law), Political Science, Economics, and German.

Students from all over the world have been drawn to the program, not only because of its outstanding academic reputation and the excellent opportunities it offers students to study German, but also because of its location; directly on the shores of one of Austria's most scenic lakes, Lake Wolfgang, in Austria's picturesque Salzkammergut region, and because of the excellent sports and recreational facilities.

The campus life creates an environment which encourages intercultural and social exchange and favours mutual understanding within the international student population. Participants thus broaden their horizon, meet colleagues from different fields of study, make friends for life and build connections for their future professional careers.
