A program tailored to your needs

Our program has been structured to take place between school semesters, which allows students to

extend their expertise and participate in an international program without having to interrupt their

ongoing studies. A certificate of completion is awarded to students based on their attendance and

participation in classes.

There is no final examination, instead the students present seminars and weekly work-focused assign-

ments. The goal is to structure an interactive and concrete program in which students become in-

volved in the development of practical activities.
