International short-term programs Opportunities to gain international experience

Would you like to gain international experience during a semester break?

A summer or winter school gives you the opportunity to travel, explore a new destination, get to know a foreign culture and in most cases gain ECTS credits at the same time. In addition, it is also a great way to meet new people from all over the world and to improve your level of English. Summer or Winter Schools usually last 1 - 6 weeks and take place during the semester breaks.

Every year, HSLU offers its own international summer schools and we receive numerous offers from partner universities around the world. On this website you will always find all currently available offers.

ECTS recognition and requirements
The accreditation of ECTS credits gained in short term programs towards the students degree program at the Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology has to be agreed prior to the registration with the head of the according study program. A requirement  for receiving the ECTS credits is a written confirmation of participation and successful completion of the course/program. Students can take more than one summer or winter school out of personal interest. However, most degree programs acknowledge ECTS credits for only one summer or winter program per student. Prerequisites for the courses ore programs are defined by the offering institution. Places are normally limited and not guaranteed. First come first serve.

Costs
All costs related to a summer or winter school must be paid by the attending student. Quite a often we will publish offers  where the tuition fee is waivend and only costs of living and travel costs will occur.
