Winter School
What is Winter School?
Participating in ZJU Winter School offers several benefits that can help streamline your education and manage costs effectively. By enrolling in the Winter School program, you are able to:
- Graduate from university and commence your career earlier, saving you time and potentially reducing educational expenses.
- Distribute your academic workload more evenly throughout the year, which can alleviate stress and improve your overall performance.
- Free up significant time during regular semesters for employment, allowing you to earn while you learn and lessen financial burdens.
- Take fascinating electives that can enhance your educational journey.
Be sure to explore the ‘subject options’ section for each course to find out the specific timings and offerings available during the Winter School.
Due to the condensed format of the Winter School sessions, we generally advise students to enrol in just one subject to maximize learning without overwhelming themselves. ZJU also provide Summer School.
