International Mitrovica Summer University 2013

Description

This summer, for the seventh time, the Mitrovica Summer University (MSU13) will be held from the 19th of July till the 2nd of August, 2013. Organizers will provide 6 intensive courses followed with cultural excursions, a recreational programme, as well as public debates on prominent issues in society. Organizers are inviting you to expand academic knowledge and skills in different fields of study, while enjoying an international atmosphere.
 

Courses

Each demand-driven course will be taught in English by a team consisting of an international teacher, local teacher and an assistant. After 10 teaching days, students will take the compulsory exam and get the opportunity to obtain an official Mitrovica Summer University Certificate rated with 3 to 4 ECTS credits.

The MSU13 programme offers 6 courses:

  • Information literacy tools in formal and informal education;
  • Entrepreneurship – from basics to innovation;
  • Cultural heritage and diversity;
  • Environmental protection and hazardous materials;

Costs

  • Lectures and classes are tuition free for all students. Participants who study in Mitrovica and in South East Europe countries (please refer to the MSU-13-Information-Guide-for-Participants to see which countries we have listed as SEE) can apply for a scholarship, which covers accommodation and food. In addition, they will receive a one-time stipend covering their travel costs. Students who study in Mitrovica and SEE countries have to pay a registration fee in the amount of 5 Euros.
