The Vienna Summer Program
July 7, 2008-August 1, 2008
The Vienna summer program builds upon strong relationships between the Wake Forest School of Law and the University of Vienna. English-speaking Austrian students attend classes and participate in all aspects of the program. Moreover, professors from the University of Vienna participate in the teaching of the classes, along with various guest lecturers.
The Summer program in Vienna runs for four weeks, typically during the month of July. Two courses are usually offered, each for three credit hours. The courses will be fully comprehensible to students who have completed their first year of law school. Since the courses will be taught concurrently, students may sign up for only one of the two.
Since classes take place only four days out of a week, there will be ample time to enjoy Vienna, as well as other locations in Austria, and in cities and countries nearby, such as Budapest, Prague, Bratislava, and Ljubljana. The program introduces students to topics of European and comparative law. Classes are taught at the University of Vienna. In the past, students have visited law offices, government buildings, and sites around Vienna-- according to the content of the courses taught.
The program is open to Wake Forest law students and to law students from other U.S. law schools.
