You will be given your timetable on the first day of the School. A preliminary timetable will be available online about 10 days prior to the start of the Summer School.

Course materials will be distributed at the first lecture.

There is no formal exam in terms of sit-down or take-home test. The evaluation is made through Class participation (25%), Individual Paper (50%), and Group presentation (25%).

Students who attend at least 75% of classes (9 out of 12 classes) and do not deliver the individual paper or the group presentation, will receive an Attendance Certificate. Students must note that an Attendance Certificate is not the equivalent to a number grade and it is unlikely that the Attendance Certificate will qualify as a transferable credit.

For students who choose not to be assessed (Class participation -25%, Individual Paper -50%, and Group presentation -25%), there is an option of an Attendance Certificate (provided that at least 75% of classes have been attended). The Attendance Certificate will state the paticipant’s  name and course, however the certificate will be noted as ‘Attended’, rather than assigned a number grade. As stated above, the Attendance Certificate alone will NOT qualify as a transferable credit.

Students completing the Summer School course will receive a certificate. Students who attend other institutions can apply the received credit from the Summer School towards the fulfilment of their studies at their current full-time University.

The course is the equivalent to 3 ECTS credits, however it is to the discretion and approval of the student’s home institution as to how these credits align with their own grading system. We recommend students consults with their home institution regarding the accreditation and transferability of these credits.
