International Summer Program 2010, Sommerhochschule of the University of Vienna
The International Summer Program 2010 of the Sommerhochschule of the University of Vienna will take place from July 17th to August 14th 2010. The four week program offers high level European Studies courses in the morning and German language courses in the afternoon.
The European Studies courses are held in English and focus on the emerging New Europe. They cover political, economic, and legal, but also historical and cultural aspects of the multiple transformations the continent is currently undergoing.
Students from all over the world have been drawn to the program, not only because of its outstanding academic reputation and the excellent opportunities it offers students to study German, but also because of its location, directly on the shores of one of Austria's most scenic lakes, Lake Wolfgang, in Austria's picturesque Salzkammergut region, and because of the excellent sports and recreational facilities.
The campus life creates an environment which encourages intercultural and social exchange and favours mutual understanding within the international student population.
More information about the Sommerhochschule and the International Summer Program can be found in the program's brochure.
For further information, contact the Program Coordinator, Ms. Nina Gruber, at sommerhochschule@univie.ac.at.

Summer Language Program in Russian
Since 1983 the Center for Language Studies (CLS) at Beloit College has offered students a unique opportunity to achieve a year's worth of college-level language training in just eight weeks. Excellent faculty, small class sizes that allow for individual attention, and twenty-six hours of classroom instruction per week in a beautiful residential environment provide an immersive approach to learning that encourages students to focus exclusively on the target language and culture.
For graduate students who receive FLAS funding, the Center for Language Studies will provide an additional grant which will cover the remaining portion of tuition.
