General Info. The aim of the International Summer Program of the "University of Vienna - Sommerhochschule" is the conveyance of the idea of Europe. The program is intended to offer an overview of the present development of Europe and European Union at this time. The courses deal with political, economic, legal, and cultural aspects of the multiple transformations the continent is currently undergoing.
The Intercultural dimension, provided by the internationally diverse student body, creates the conditions most conducive to intercultural and social interaction.
The extensive extracurricular program include sports courses, evening seminars, and excursions. Students from all over the world have been attracted to the program, not only because of its outstanding academic reputationand the excellent opportunities it offers students to learn German, but also because of its location and the area's excellent sports and recreational facilities.
Program. The Sommerhochschule consists of two two-week sessions. Six European Studies courses with 30 contact hours each are offered during each session. Most courses are taught by senior faculty of the University of Vienna. By tradition professors from Universities in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe are also invited to teach at the International Summer Program.
In addition to the academic program, the Sommerhochschule also offers German language courses.
