Summer Schools and Winter Schools
On this page, you will find a selection of summer school offers. Each program has its application process. Please visit the links below to find more information. Most of the summer schools are interdisciplinary, so check out the offers among other fields as well. If you are looking for summer school opportunities in Europe, please see also the Summer School in Europe homepage.
Like credits for student exchange, the credits received for short courses can be used towards the completion of your curriculum at the University of Tartu. See the course credit transferring process and find the necessary forms here. For advice, contact the RPL adviser in your institute or department.
Please note that students are typically responsible for covering all costs associated with summer schools, including travel, accommodation, and living expenses, unless otherwise stated under the specific summer school listing. Erasmus+ program grants for studies or traineeships are not applicable to summer or winter schools.
