Summer Schools
If you are looking for a program with a difference, you might like to consider attending a Utrecht Summer School. In 2006 these were held in Bologna, Italy and Ljubljana, Slovenia. Held over a two week period in July each year, the Summer Schools are taught in English and cover special topics of interest. In 2006, the following topics were covered:
- Bologna: Human Rights - Cultural Pluralism against Racism and Xenophobia-
'Communities vs Individuals?'
- Ljubljana: Environmental Sciences – Environmental and Resource Management.
Students who participate in this program pay a fee which covers tuition, study materials, excursions, accommodation, and most meals. The academic program consists of lectures, workshops/seminars and reading. Tutorials and independent study sessions are also organised. The Summer School is a joint initiative of member universities of the Utrecht Network. The Utrecht Network is a group of 27 universities from almost every European country cooperating in the area of internationalisation. The members of the group are prominent and comprehensive Higher Education Institutions which assume a cultural responsibility alongside their educational and research tasks. With approximately 50 students attending the Summer School, and academic staff coming from all over Europe, it is an exciting and rewarding opportunity that is guaranteed to enrich your university experience.
