The key to become a successful graduate is not only to build solid theoretical and methodological skills during your years at the University. It is equally important learning how to collaborate with co-students and apply your skills to open-ended real-world problems.
 
The Summer School at Aalborg University is a unique option for undergraduate students interested in Information and Communication Technology. It offers you the chance to acquire theoretical and methodological skills at a high level and at the same time experience our renowned Project Organised Problem Based pedagogical model.
 
This approach has reached enormous popularity all over the world. The focus is on learning through investigating real world problems. The key philosophy may be expressed by an old Chinese proverb:
 
 
“Tell me and I will forget
Show me and I will remember
Involve me and I will understand
Step back and I will act”

 

 
During the Summer School at Aalborg University you will attend lectures by internationally recognized researchers and apply the theories and methods in real world problems. You will collaborate with co-students in small groups. Each group will have its own room with blackboards, tables, chairs and Internet access. Scientist from Aalborg University will offer their assistance during the course of the Summer School to help students achieve great results. Furthermore you will have access to top-level laboratories and a library with a large collection of high quality books, journals and standards.
