"I really enjoyed the broad spectrum of topics covered. As I had generic interest in the field, this really helped me identify my key areas of interest and provide a clear direction for future study. Additionally, the structure was dynamic with lectures, visits and quizzes mixed together and this really helped to keep me interested in the course." - Marcus, Switzerland

"The subject gave great insight on European Human Rights, allowing to compare it to home countries and how different nations uphold human rights. It’s more than just studying international law in another country." - Prineeka, Australia
Masaryk University has completed another successful summer school season, which ended with the Open Garden. More than a hundred international students who had studied in Brno for several weeks arrived at the joint barbecue.

At the moment there are materials for our winter schools and general winter/summer school experience. We will update this link with additional programmes in the future.
A different perspective – Winter schools enable students to attend classes that they may not be able to take at their home institution, or at least not from the same perspective.
Enhance intercultural communication skills – By attending a winter school with a foreign university, students are introduced to students and faculty members from all over the world.
Preparing students for their future career – The winter organized through Masaryk University strive to prepare students for their future careers at the same time as focusing on the academic. Now more than ever, it is important for students to learn how to virtually collaborate and present ideas.
Get ahead for next year – The intensive, 3 week winter school with Masaryk University will provide students with 6 ECTS (or 3 US credits) allowing students to make up for courses they may have missed, or to help them get ahead for future semesters.
Cost effective – Masaryk University’s winter and summer schools have always been cost effective in comparison to many other offerings, and the same is true also with our online summer schools. Academic rigor is not lost, however Masaryk University believes educational opportunities should be available to all.
