"GISSS - Graz International Summer School Seggau" is designed to be integrated into the curricula of the European Joint Master’s Degree English and American Studies. This allows students to profit from the expertise and resources of all the partners within the relevant joint degree programme. The Summer School takes place in Seggau Castle near Graz over two weeks at the end of the summer term and offers courses that are jointly taught by various members of the partner universities. – It also offers the great opportunity to meet students from all over the world.

With a complete European integration in mind, the summer school contributes to a better understanding on a European as well as international level. Thematic seminars in the respective fields allow students to strengthen their understanding of complex issues in their study areas. Cross-cultural teaming and transferable skills workshops add an important aspect to the summer school and give students the opportunity to acquire additional skills that will allow them to succeed on the international labour market and become cross-culturally competent experts.

The target groups for the summer school are highly motivated students following their studies at master level within the Joint Degree programmes or any other programme allowing for the recognition of the summer school courses within their study programme. 6 ECTS will be awarded to students for participation in the summer school and a seminar paper. These credits are automatically recognized in the Joint Degree programme.
