Cologne Summer School in LVR-Archeological Park Xanten: for four weeks of hands-on learning and digging into the past - literally!

From archaeological excavation techniques to discovering the stories hidden beneath the soil, the experience brought history, teamwork and international exchange together.

And that’s what makes the Cologne Summer Schools so special: they are as diverse as the people who take part in them. Our summer schools offer students the chance to explore new fields, learn by doing, meet inspiring people and experience international academic networks from new perspectives. 🌍🎓⛏️
