3. Contents and objectives of Lille Catholic University’s European Summer Program

The contents and objectives of the individual courses in the program are available on the European Summer Program’s web-site. The selection of courses is, in the end, the responsibility of each participant. We therefore urge you to take note of any relevant preconditions or other aspects of a course. Each participant should consider especially whether the contents and objectives of a given course correspond with his/her needs and expectations and also whether he/she possesses the necessary qualification for a course.
•   Quality
Lille Catholic University carefully selects its teaching personnel, which must demonstrate adequate competence and experience in its particular discipline. Furthermore, Lille Catholic University guarantees that all courses, corresponding to their content, will be carried out in a professional and competent manner and fulfil the stated objectives.

When a participant fulfils all requirements of a course, he/she receives an official transcript at the end of the program. Those individuals who participate in courses without the intention of gaining academic credit, receive a declaration of participation if they so desire.
•   Location
All courses are held in one of the campus facilities of Lille Catholic University. Relocation to a non-university site, due to unexpected unavailability of space, may occur under certain circumstances.
•   Additional programme offerings
Additional programme offerings, booked by participants and beyond that which is offered as part of a given course, are not subject to Lille Catholic University liability and can only be offered subject to availability.
