Summer and winter schools at FAU are compact, thematically focused learning and research formats that take place during the lecture-free period and combine courses, workshops, excursions, and project work. They are usually aimed at students of all subjects and stages of study, and especially at international students. The aim is to deepen subject-specific knowledge, develop methodological and interdisciplinary skills, and gain insights into current research and practice at FAU. At the same time, the programs promote international and intercultural networking and exchange with experts and participants from partner universities.
