All our programmes can generate ECTS Credits (European credits transfer system)
The summer courses are among the activities CIFE has been organising for the longest period of time – the first summer university took place in 1961, in Aoste (Italy).
Numerous other summer programmes followed, taking place in various countries, in particular in Eastern Europe. Due to the growing success of these study programmes, and to meet demand from interested countries, CIFE decided to organise summer university courses on a regular basis.
CIFE organises these programmes in co-operation with one or several partners in each of the host countries. Twenty to forty students, on average, participate in each programme. Some of them come from the host country and others come from all over the world. The same goes for the teaching staff. The working languages are French and English. The programmes consist of lectures, seminars, conferences and visits to various relevant institutions that help promote a better understanding of the political and cultural climate and the way of life in the respective host country. At the end of each programme the participants may obtain ECTS credits. These summer courses are also an opportunity for our students to meet up with former participants from CIFE’s various programmes in their native countries.
