If you want to learn about another country’s language and culture, a summer school is a great option, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new way of life abroad.
Enhance your learning process by choosing one of the summer schools suggested below, or find your own. We encourage you to create your own opportunities - seeking out one that will suit your particular interests and needs.
Most of the international summer schools listed below have a tuition fee attached. However, there are some of our partner universities who waived the fee for our AV students. Please see the lists per world regions below.
