Summer Schools im Ausland
KIT-Partnerhochschulen im Ausland bieten häufig in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit im Sommer sogenannte Summer Schools an. Diese ein- oder mehrwöchigen Veranstaltungen bieten Studierenden eine gute Möglichkeit kurzfristig Auslandserfahrungen zu sammeln und ihren Horizont auch außerhalb des Studienschwerpunktes zu erweitern. Häufig werden die Seminare und Vorlesungen durch ein buntes Rahmenprogramm mit Kurztrips, kulturellen und sozialen Veranstaltungen ergänzt.
In bestimmten Fällen ist es sogar möglich, ECTS-Punkte zu erwerben und diese auf das Studium am KIT anrechnen zu lassen.
Teilnehmende KIT-Studierende werden oft bevorzugt behandelt: Sie können sich z.B. für besondere Stipendien bewerben oder reservierte Plätze in Anspruch nehmen.
Für nähere Informationen zu den einzelnen Angeboten können Sie sich direkt auf den Internetseiten der jeweiligen Partnerhochschule informieren oder Sie wenden sich an das International Students Office des KIT.
Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten
Für Summer Schools gibt es kaum Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten. In den meisten Fällen müssen sie selbst finanziert werden.
- Der DAAD vergibt Stipendien für die Teilnahme an Sommerschulen in den folgenden Ländern: Albanien, Aserbaidschan, Armenien, Belarus, Bosnien und Herzegowina, Bulgarien, Estland, Georgien, Kasachstan, Kirgisistan, Lettland, Litauen, Moldau, Polen, Rumänien, Russland, Serbien, Slowenien, Ukraine, Ungarn.
