IBERO Summer School
The IBERO Summer School is an innovative project that combines academic excellence with an unique cultural and personal experience. During the 3-weeks program, international students share classes with Mexican peers, and gain a broad understanding about their chosen course topic, as well as about the Mexican and Latin American context (culture, history, economy).
The summer school is conducted in English, with the option of extending the participation from 3 to 5 weeks:
3-week modality / 5-week modality.
You can choose out of four different areas of interest. During the mornings, you will have lectures on your chosen topic of specialization (together with Mexican regular students). In the afternoons, all international students come together to learn more about the Mexican context. Regular field trips and cultural activities complement the program.
- Enhance your knowledge, guided by Mexican and international professors
- Make new friends and build your networks
- Revalidate academic credits for your home university
