Short-term Study Programme
A short-term study programme is an alternative to an exchange programme and is usually a 1-2 week trip to a foreign school. This form of mobility usually combines studying with opportunities to getting to know the school and the area. The Faculty of Management recognises and supports two types of stays in this category: (a) EUROMATES trip, (b) summer school trip.
EUROMATES Programme
This programme is an official short-term study mobility of the Faculty of Management, in which the faculty cooperates with its partner faculties. The core of the programme is a one-week trip during the semester where students have the opportunity to complete one intensive course and also get to know the partner faculty and the city or town where the school is located.
More information can be found on the programme website.

Summer school
Summer schools are organised by universities around the world during the summer holidays.
