The students will move into the dormitory on July 3rd, 2017 in the afternoon. In case of earlier arrival students can use a hostel near by on their own account.

As a trip to Vienna is scheduled on the very last days of the Applied Summer School, participants can leave Austria directly from Vienna on Saturday, July 22nd, 2016, in the evening.

Modules

The academic program includes a total of 17 integrated teaching modules. Each of these modules consists of theory and applied parts.
The teaching modules take place between 9 am and 3 pm with a lunch break of 1 hour with short breaks in the morning and afternoon. Each module includes lectures, interactive discussions, case studies, applied assignments and readings.

The modules within the Applied Summer School thematically cover three parts:

• European Culture

• Economics of the European Union

• Legal Framework of the European Union

Company visits and excursions

In addition, the summer school comprises company visits and excursions. Since Austria has an extremely high rate of foreign trade, the companies selected for the summer school are internationally active and the participants of the summer school will be able to get a deep insight into practical issues of business in Europe.
Excursions to a world heritage castle, a famous chocolate manufacture and to the city of Vienna and the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, will give students the opportunity to get to know the culture of Austria and a neighbouring country.
