Uncredited short opportunities

Expand your horizon by joining a global opportunity at one of our partner universities during your break.

Our partners offer programs such as summer schools, hackathons or research internships that allow you to gain new skills and exposure as well as get a taste of studying abroad. Below a few examples of global opportunities.

Please note that all of the global opportunities proposed on this webpage are non-credited. Even if the program offers credits you will not be able to transfer them to EPFL.
