Civitas University offers short-term programmes and courses. Our flagship programme “Security and Society in the Information Age” is implemented in partnership with SRAS (USA) and is primarily aimed at students enrolled in American universities. It offers two tracks:
Summer School
The participants have the opportunity to study global security from the perspective of Central Europe. Two world wars, the Cold War, the fall of communism, integration into the European Union … understanding these historical events is not only critical to understanding the region today, but also the complex nature of security issues in Europe and beyond. The Security and Society Summer School is a six-week intensive course with an online research internship. Four weeks are spent abroad, based in Warsaw, and with a study tour to Berlin (Germany). A research internship is integrated into the course, with the final two weeks of the internship done remotely (online). Earn 8 ECTS (4 US semester credits).
One Semester/ One Year Abroad
During the academic year, Civitas University is home to a diverse student body, hosting a large number of Erasmus+ exchange students from around Europe, in addition to students from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. These international students and Polish students alike come to Civitas University to study international relations, sociology, security, new media, and more.
