Summer Academy

Summer academies are not just fun in the sun. And not everyone can afford to rip six months out of their life as an exchange student - so for those who can't, a short mobility summer academy in the summer holidays is the perfect way to achieve employability skills via mobility.

Short mobilities have also been proven to enhance your future career possibilities. Therefore, we have developed opportunities to study abroad at a summer academy. This is also relatively cheap compared to going abroad for a semester. Summer academies that take place in Europe are eligible for Erasmus+ funding - you will be given further information once you have applied.

Summer academies are an excellent opportunity to experience a different culture and learn about a new academic field. Summer academies are intensive programmes where you study across disciplines, with students from Business Academy Aarhus and students from partner universities. So, even a summer academy held in Aarhus will provide you with a little extra.

Business Academy Aarhus offers several different summer academies, each covering a different theme, giving you specialised knowledge in an academic field. Once completed, a summer academy will award you 5 ECTS.

International Office regularly receives summer school offers from our partner universities as well, so you are always welcome to come and see what else we have to offer.

Our summer academies are updated annually, usually around October/November.
