Summer school

Joining a Summer school is a great opportunity to study abroad for a short period. You can deepen your knowledge and broaden your horizon. Many universities abroad offer you the possibility to take part in a Summer school programme. These programmes usually take place in July and/or August and vary in duration from 1 week to 6 weeks. The past few years, students from the NSM went to multiple destinations. All of the students returned satisfied and feeling enriched by having had a very special experience.
