Almost 200 students from different parts of the world took part in international summer schools organised at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. During the summer holiday, the young people, apart from gaining knowledge, learned about our university, city and the region

This year, the courses were held at the faculties of Civil Engineering, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Computer Science and Management, Mechanical and Power Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Additionally, the participants learned the Polish language and culture in classes organised by the Foreign Languages Department.

New editions of three different summer programmes took place in June and July.

TECHSummer is a programme catering primarily for students from India. The specially designed six-weeks’ courses, organised at the Faculties of Civil Engineering and Hydroengineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Computer Science and Management, and Mechanical Engineering, are recognised at the programme participants’ home universities.

Over 100 students from 5 partner universities in India, as well as - for the first time - a 22-strong group of French students of Institut National des Sciences Appliquees, took part in the already fourth edition.

Another initiative, named 3E+ Summer School, is a summer programme dedicated to students from all over the world. This year's edition lasted 4 weeks, with 33 young people from Europe and more remote parts of the world, including Australia, China, India, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, staying at our university. The participants worked on their projects at five faculties - Civil Engineering and Hydroengineeringg, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical and Power Engineering.

Late July saw the completion of GUT Summer School i.e., holiday courses for students of Guilin University of Technology, our partner university in China, for whom it was already the second visit to Wrocław University of Science and Technology.  This year’s edition of the school aimed at supporting 22 second cycle students in their work on their master’s theses. The course comprised classes in the methodology of scientific research and academic writing in the English language. Moreover, the students had an opportunity to find out about Wrocław and Poland thanks to the extensive culture programme and Polish classes. 

Also for the second time, the Summer School of Architecture was organised at our university with project coordinators Marcel Bilow PhD, Eng. Arch. from the Technical University of Delft and Jerzy Łątka, a doctoral student at the Faculty of Architecture of WUST. 25 students of our university took part in this year’s edition with the aim of developing paper furniture prototypes, among other things. The designs created by the participants included a modular reading room and a loge featuring a multi-purpose table.
