Summer school
This summer was as busy as always at PTE, festivals after festivals, summer schools after summer schools. For one of these summer schools (18th Hungarian Language and Culture Summer School) people came to try their fortune with Hungarian language. In the program we can meet everybody, from youngsters to elders. There are absolute beginners and there are students who were here before but it is not only about the language, they have the opportunity to get a little bit more familiar with the local culture and history.
The Centre for International Relations has begun the implementation of the Summer Trimester set in the University of Pécs Internationalization Program. As part of this, a special summer school is organized by the Centre for International Relations in cooperation with the Faculty of Humanities between 10 July and 4 August 2017.
The special Pécs Debate Academy 2017 uses a mixed methodology. Students learn about the hot topics of higher education in 21st century from international and local experts while they also gain an opportunity to develop their speaking skills and learn to argue along the techniques of the British Parliamentary Debate style from highly qualified international debate trainers. The Pecs Debate Academy is a debate training series that embeds a youth forum conference, which is supported by courses on introduction to debate systems, discussions, conference lectures, debate trainings, and a debate tournament.
As part of our internationalization strategy, the Centre for International Relations has been developing a new ’Summer Trimester’ that includes all the summer courses organized by our Faculties or by the Centre for International Relations. The University of Pécs is working on offering a growing number of Summer Schools to our international, Hungarian and incoming students.
Stress is the salt of life
The Erasmus Observatory on Health Law / Institute of Health Policy & Management (Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands) announces the annual Summer school on Health Law and Ethics (30 June – 8 July 2016), providing students, professionals and practitioners, with an opportunity for intensive training in various aspects of health law and ethics over a two-weeks period (you can sign up for 1 week or 2 weeks), while absorbing the sights, sounds and culture unique to Rotterdam and the Netherlands.
