Due to the increased interest for Mitrovica Winter University 2010 we are extending the deadline for submitting applications for MWU 2010. The new deadline is 27^th November 2009 for ALL students (EU, SEE and Local)!!!

Due to its great success, the (renamed) Mitrovica Winter University (MWU) will take place in 2010! Therefore, we are looking for highly motivated students who want to participate in the MWU 2010 and once more to make it an unforgettable experience. Please apply online if you want to come again. We also would like to ask you to spread the word about MWU and invite all of your friends to apply for Winter University!

The Mitrovica Winter University will be held between 23^rd January and 5^th February 2010. Continuing with the original format, the program for MWU 2010 will bring together local and international professors and students, providing an opportunity to learn and share experiences. During the Mitrovica Winter University 2010 six courses will take place on the following topics:

1.      Environmental protection
2.      Economy/Entrepreneurship
3.      Peace Building/Conflict Studies/Diplomacy
4.      Comparative study of Balkan Countries and EU Integration
5.      Cultural Heritage
6.      Web Design

All courses will be taught by local and international professors and will be in English. Successful participants will gain an official Certificate of the Mitrovica Winter University which includes between 3 and 4 ECTS credits.

The two-week courses are organized together with cultural excursions and a recreational program. In addition, public discussions, lectures and other interactive events on prominent issues in society will take place. Therefore, the MWU offers you a unique opportunity to expand your academic knowledge and skills in different fields of study, while enjoying an exciting international atmosphere.

Lectures and classes are free for all students. Participants who study in Mitrovica and students from South East Europe can apply for a scholarship, which covers accommodation and food. In addition, they will receive a one-time stipend covering their travel costs. International students from Western Europe and beyond are welcome to participate, but have to cover the cost of participation, i.e. travel, accommodation and food, themselves. However, they will not be charged a tuition fee. For these participants, accommodation is provided at a modest price for the entire duration of the MWU (approximately €140,-)
