International Summer School
Every summer, students at the University of Innsbruck have the chance to participate in the University of New Orleans International Summer School. The Summer School takes place at the University of Innsbruck between the beginning of July and the middle of August.
Aside from the daily courses you will have the opportunity to go on field trips and in the evenings after class there will be guest lectures and various other events to attend at your leisure.
The courses come from a broad range of different fields, are held by lecturers from both the University of Innsbruck and the US and can be found on LFU:online:

Classes take place daily from Monday to Thursday, attendance is mandatory.
Due to the limited number of seats available to UIBK students per class, it is possible we cannot accomodate every student's wishes. Please make use of the preference system when you sign up to let us know what your first and second choices are. There will be a one week shuffle-period after the deadline where students who did not get accepted into all their classes have the chance to make another selection. You will be contacted via e-mail if this is the case, otherwise you will receive a notification regarding your status and an infomail with all necessary information.
Please make sure you are committed to attending and completing the program when you sign up. Our aim is to make Summer School accessible to everybody interested, so students who stop attending or cancel their course booking after the deadline will be barred from attending in later years and might even receive a failing grade, as their seat could have gone to somebody else.
For administrative reasons no changes or late applications are possible after the deadline.
Make sure to talk to Associate Dean of Studies to clarify wether your summer school courses can be accredited towards your degree.
Matching your course selection with courses from your curriculum regarding course content and learning outcomes and any free electives in your curriculum may raise your chances, but bear in mind that your Dean of Studies or Associate Dean of Studies will always retain the last word in matters of accredidation.
If you want to connect to people outside of class, our students have the opportunity to sign up for our very own Buddy Programm, get to know another culture or practice language skills all while enjoying summer in Innsbruck.
