Linköping University Summer Academy

Located in Sweden, Linkoping University is offering an opportunity for Charles Sturt students to participate in their Summer Academy on their Valla campus.

Linkoping University is among the top 2% world's universities in international rankings and has over 40,000 students and employees of four campuses.

Several courses are available at LiU Summer Academy. These courses offer an insight into disciplines and research areas where LiU excels while also providing insights from the Swedish context.

* Alternative Energy: the past, present, future, and inventions
* Is There an App for That: Potentials and Pitfalls of Using Smartphones as Medical Devices
* Leadership and Organizational Behaviour in Contemporary Organizations
* Nanotechnology: Sustainable Challenges and Social Impact
* Sweden: Language, Culture and Society
