We are excited to be able to offer both in person and online summer schools this year. We are committed to providing engaging and interactive programmes that help students cross international barriers — whether they are online or in person.
Our in person summer schools continues our commitment to provide students with a comprehensive academic and social program that enables them to learn and grow both in and outside of the program. Each of our in person summer schools bring students outside of Brno on excursions to Prague, Vienna and Budapest. This summer we will offer 4 in person summer schools in the fields of politics, security, law, history, culture, and globalization and 2 internship opportunities in the fields of Science and Communication.
We're proud to offer a 3rd iteration of our online programmes after successful completion in summer 2020 and winter 2021. The online programmes are designed to offer an intensive academic program through synchronous iterative classes in addition to numerous virtual site visits to sites like the UN, OSCE, etc.
This summer we will offer 3 online summer schools in the fields of law, international relations, politics, and security.
Masaryk University wants to provide as much assurance to the safety and health to our participants and teachers as possible during these unprecedented times. Our summer and winter schools by nature require students to be in close contact (traveling as a group, classes, social activities, and living together), as such there is no way to mitigate all risks, below are the policies for Masaryk University Summer and Winter Schools.
Students who test positive with Covid-19 and send us proof within 2 weeks of the start programme will receive a 90% refund.
Full payment for the programs are required 30 days prior to the start of the programme. (this is to provide students as much flexibility as possible)
No refunds for cancellation within 30 days of the start of the programme, except for proof of Covid-19 as mentioned above.
If Masaryk University is required to cancel the programme for any reason prior to the start of the programme, a full refund will be provided.
If excursions (Prague, Vienna, Budapest, etc.) need to be cancelled due Covid-19 related issues and asubstitutecannot be provided to students, than a refund of €300 will be provided to each student.
As per Czech law, if any student becomes positive for Covid-19, all students will be put into a quarantine. Masaryk University will cover the cost for 1 Covid-19 test. If the quarantine lasts longer than the programme dates, MU will help the student find accommodation, however the costs for all accommodation and food after the end of the programme are the responsibility of the student.
Students will be required to purchase trip protection insurance that will cover the cost of accommodation and change in travel IF they become sick past the duration of the programme. MU will help students secure accommodation if required after the dates of the programme, however the student is responsible for all costs.
This summer we are excited to offer over 10 individual research projects that students can apply for through our Research Lab Internships. Each project is unique and vary in topics from chemistry, biostatistics, anthropology, machine learning and more. We encourage all students who want to gain practical lab experience to check out the projects, and see if they are interested.
