Summer School Opportunities for DIGISOC Students

One of the main advantages of the DIGISOC Master’s Programme is its strong international focus through hybrid learning and in-person mobility phases. As a part of the programme, students will partecipate in two summer schools, providing academic and intercultural experiences. Both summer schools will follow a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) format, ensuring comprehensive online preparation and follow-up sessions to enhance the learning experience.

First Summer School – Palacky University Olomouc (Czechia) November 2025

The first summer school in mandatory and will take place at Palacky University Olomouc (Czechia) in November 2025. This mobility phase allows students to collaborate across cultures and engage in interdisciplinary learning. Like the second summer school, it follows a BIT format, including:

Online Preparation Phase – Students receive essential materials and guidance before attending the in-person week.
In-Person Mobility – A week of immersive academic exchange and cultural collaboration in Olomouc.
Final Online Follow-Up – A concluding virtual session to reflect on key learnings and experiences.
