The summer programs cover a variety of fields, including both modern and classical languages, as well as themes closely related to UCU's mission, theology, art, and leadership. Our program allows you plenty of time to discover your new country, culture and customs. You can enjoy leisure time at various venues including theaters, opera, circus and concert halls and music bars.
