Summer & Winter Schools
The summer schools of all partner universities in the EDUC Alliance promote international exchange between students. You can expand your subject-specific knowledge or think outside the box of your subject. Last but not least, you will gain unique insights into other living environments and cultures.
As a student at the University of Potsdam, you can apply for all programmes. Please note the different application modalities.
Please also note the EDUC Alliance's blended research summer schools offers, which are aimed in particular at doctoral students and Master's students in higher semesters.
