Discover summer school opportunities
We work closely with our partner universities across the world to provide a huge range of summer school opportunities.
Summer schools are a great way to:
- deepen your understanding of your current academic subject, improve your language learning or try something completely new
- make international connections and friends from all over the world
- gain a global perspective
- develop your understanding of another culture
- discover a new country and live like a local
What to expect
Summer schools vary in length. Some run for just a week and others for six to eight weeks or more.
A summer school experience often includes a combination of timetabled lessons, practical sessions and group work. They also usually include additional social and cultural activities to help you get to know the cities, people and culture of your host country.
We have some amazing partners who run really unique summer programmes, so dont be afraid to explore a partner or country that you haven't heard of before!
