univie: summer school for European Cultural Studies - Art & History

July 17 - July 30, 2021

The summer school courses provide an introduction into European Cultural Studies. The view of Europe from the outside is mostly dominated by economic issues. But Europe is very much defined by its history and culture. Two key aspects of this preoccupation with the European area will be offered in the summer courses.

The two-week program offers two academic courses taught online. One course deals with history, politics, and everyday life in this area and the second course approaches Europe from the artistic side and examines and analyzes the visual culture in Europe. 

The courses are held by distinguished scholars with international teaching experience. The interdisciplinary lectures will lead to an understanding of European art and history.

The online courses encourage interactive participation. These courses with international participants offer the possibility to discuss European art and history with students from all over the world. 

A welcome session will introduce the participants to the summer school and give them the opportunity to meet informally with the staff and each other. The summer program also includes online excursions. Social online gatherings as well as group work in breakout rooms will encourage intercultural and social exchange between the students. Participants thus broaden their horizon, meet colleagues from different fields of study, and make new friends.

Summer school online program fees are € 675 for one academic online course, or € 1,150 for two academic online courses. The fee includes registration, orientation material, welcome session, introductory course, one or two academic online courses, teaching material, online excursions, and one free transcript.

External students have to pay the Austrian students' union fee of € 20.20 to be admitted to the University of Vienna. 

Having seen the academic program of your university, we believe that the courses offered at the univie: winter school for Cultural Historical Studies would complement your university’s course offerings perfectly.
