Short-term programs

TDTU's short courses are formed to promote international cooperation and academic exchange between universities as well as attract students and staff worldwide. These courses offer a great variety of subjects for a short and fixed period. This period can vary between a week to three months, depending on the university and course. This is an excellent opportunity to gain academic, cultural and social experience if you are not able to access long-term study opportunities.
