Academic Program
- Language of Instruction: English
- Summer Course Load: 10 ECTS credits
In order to earn 6 credits at Purdue, students can enroll in one 10 ECTS credit course or two 5 ECTS credit courses. TIP: Examine the 10-ECTS courses first. Then, determine which of these are Bachelor's courses. Make your choices based on which ones interest you and in which term the courses are offered.
Students can only take one course at any one time. The Aarhus summer courses are intensive and can take up almost the entire day. It would not be possible to fit two classes in one day. Thus, if taking two 5-ECTS courses, they must be taken sequentially, the first during Term 1, the other during Term 2.
Excursions
A varied program of social activities will be offered to all Summer University participants. Some activities may require a nominal fee.
Housing
Aarhus Summer School will reserve participants accommodation in student residence halls located within 10 to 30 minutes of the campus. Meals can be taken at the school cafe, in the residence kitchens, or at nearby restaurants.
Estimated Program Costs
Students pursuing program participation accept financial responsibility. Purdue will take measures to mitigate financial risks, although will not be liable for loss. Students should carefully note what costs need to be paid to Purdue University or to a co-sponsor or agency, and what costs need to be paid at the overseas study location. This will vary by program.
