If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Who can apply?
Students in their bachelor or master degree of all universities and disciplines can apply. If you want to be credited with ECTS for your participation, please read this information and contact us well in advance.
Why is there a participation fee?
We need to cover the expenses for lunch meals and the cultural program by the participation fee. However, we offer a limited number of scholarships for international students, through which we can grant up to 150€ for your travel and accommodation expenses. If you consider this option, please indicate this in your application.
If you are studying at a university in the Czech Republic, you are also eligible for a scholarship by the Bavarian-Czech Academic Agency:

I am not living in Passau. Where can I stay?
There are several low-cost possibilities to stay in PASSAE, for example at the Rotel Inn or at the Youth Hostel. We recommend you to book in advance, as the hotels tend to be fully booked during the tourist season.
I do not study philosophy. Is that a problem?
PASSAE is designed to be an interdisciplinary summer school, which means that we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you do not have any academic background in philosophy. We will provide a reader with the texts, you need to prepare for your working group sessions.
