Summer Schools
University of Vaasa offers our students possibilities to benefit from summer time by supporting exchange studies in Summer Schools organized by different universities abroad. Summer Schools are a great option for students who prefer not to spend an entire semester on exchange.
Summer Schools usually take place during June - August, and usually last from 2 weeks up to 1 month. Summer Schools focus on different themes and topics. By scanning through the selection of Summer Schools available you will be sure to find a Summer School that interests you and offers you a chance to develop the skills you need for your career.
Our partner universities have different criteria for students applying to Summer Schools. To most Summer Schools you can apply on your own. Make sure to apply before the Summer School deadline! Students are responsible for applying to Summer Schools following the guidelines given by host university for the application process.
Selecting Summer School
Please note that students apply to Summer Schools by themselves, following application instructions given by the university organizing the summer school. University of Vaasa does not sign up students for Summer Schools. Some universities require a nomination from University of Vaasa, but also after nomination the student would still be submitting their own application to hosting university of the Summer School.
Most Summer Schools have a tuition fee, but there are also Summer Schools that are free of charge.
If the Summer School has a tuition fee, it is paid by the student directly to the hosting university of the Summer School. University of Vaasa does not pay for the students for their tuition fees to Summer Schools.
You can apply for a Summer School Grant from University of Vaasa Mobility Services (see Grant).
