Summer Schools & Intensive Programmes
Funded short programmes, summer academies, and intensive courses worldwide.
What Are Summer Schools?
Summer schools and intensive programmes are short, funded academic experiences — typically 2 to 8 weeks — held at universities around the world. Many include full or partial funding covering tuition, accommodation, and sometimes travel.
Who Should Apply?
Undergraduate and graduate students, early-career researchers, and professionals looking to explore a new field or country without a full-degree commitment.
How Funding Works
Most funded programmes are supported by DAAD, EU grants, or bilateral government agreements. Applications typically open 3–6 months before the programme starts.
Career Tip
Alumni of funded summer schools often receive preferential treatment when later applying to full Master's or PhD programmes at the same institution.
