Our summer courses have special, attractive conditions for students and are more intensive than our regular courses (two sessions per week).
This summer we offer two different courses; both dealing with crucial topics about the Arab world. We recommend them to students having already completed a bachelor's degree. Both courses are offered within our intermediate level.
Summer Course 1: | "دور المرأة العربية في الثورات العربية وهل تغير؟" The role of Arab women during the Arab spring and how it has developed.

Certificates | A certificate of participation will be issued if the student has attended at least three quarters of all meetings and if he/she has met the course requirements as defined by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester (This might include presentations in class or written exercises). | |
Fees | 200 CHF for students enrolled at a university.
250 CHF for everyone else. Fees are expected to be paid before teaching starts. If a student has to cancel his/ her participation before the first session, he/ she will be reimbursed the whole amount minus a charge of 50.- CHF. No reimbursement will be paid after the first session. |

Registration | here Registration is open until 21. June 2014. |

Technical Issues | Students need a computer, internet access, a headset (compulsory) and a Skype (course 2) or Google account (course 1). We will check in a personal online meeting whether the connection is working. Technical problems showing up during the semester that prevent a student from attending the class are subject to his/her own responsibility. Missed classes will, therefore, not be substituted. However, if a technical problem prevents all students from participating, the class will be substituted (normally added at the end of the course). |
