In order to take part in the “Late Summer School”, fill in a registration form during the designated registration period (name and e-mail address are obligatory). Students of the Medical University of Graz are expected to use their @stud.medunigraz.at addresses.
The participants will be drawn by lot. Please have in mind, that the moment of application within the registration period will not have any influence on your chance of taking part in the “Late Summer School”.
We are sorry that students who have already participated at one of our Summer Schools will not be allowed to take part once again.
There will be a participation fee of 70€. Your assigned place is pending until we receive your payment. You will only receive your final confirmation after in-payment. Payment information and deadline will be provided by e-mail after your registration.
There is no need for any specific previous knowledge to take part at our Late Summer School. However, being in the clinical part of your studies will be profitable not only for your learning success, but it will also guarantee a common base of the participating students.
Please let us know as early as possible, if you need to cancel your participation, so that we can offer the place to another student. Be aware, that it is not allowed to pass your place to one of your friends/colleagues. There will be a waiting list and we’ll assign free places according to the waiting list which is also drawn by lot.
Please keep in mind, that if you cancel your registration, a refund of money cannot be guaranteed due to logistical and organizational reasons.
