Universidades internacionales de verano 2022

summer programs

Os informamos que en el apartado superior «Universidades de Verano» del Blog de RRII ETSINF, encontraréis información que iremos actualizando continuamente acerca de cursos de verano de distintas Universidades que nos llegan a la Oficina Internacional ETSINF.

Las universidades van publicando la información respecto al verano de 2022, a partir de diciembre de 2021. Ten en cuenta que  suele haber un plazo de solicitud temprano «Early Bird» que tiene descuentos. En algunos destinos, si el estudiante es de una universidad socia Erasmus, aplican descuentos adicionales o no se pagan tasas académicas de los cursos. Consulta en el destino de tu interés, en su caso y comunica tu intención de hacer una solicitud a la Oficina Internacional ETSINF (int_inf@upvnet.upv.es) para que te podamos «nominar» como estudiante beneficiario de esos descuentos o beneficios.

Si estás pensando mejorar tu competencia en idiomas y, a la vez, adquirir otras competencias transversales o conocimientos técnicos extracurriculares, estos programas te permitirán hacerlo, en ocasiones con menor coste que si realizas únicamente un curso de idioma en el extranjero.

Por ejemplo, esta universidad de verano en Linköping (Suecia), universidad socia Erasmus+ de la ETSINF, propone un programa de 4 semanas, del 4 de julio al 29 de julio de 2022:

5th Linköping University Summer Academy:

All courses are at bachelor’s level, credit bearing (7.5 ECTS), will be taught in English and are full-time. For students from LiU’s partner universities the LiU Summer Academy is tuition free.

Housing will be provided; a completely furnished single room with access to a fully equipped shared kitchen. We have an Accommodation package (including rent, bed linen, blanket, internet access, a regional bus pass, a gym membership, and a final room cleaning) for 5500 SEK (approximately 530€).
