Summer School 2024: Residential (two weeks accredited)

This popular programme for university-level study in the UK is open to international students from around the world who would like to study during the summer and experience British culture.

We are pleased to be able to offer a half summer school programme for those who are not able to attend for the full month. This programme works nicely as a taster for study abroad, or for those with other commitments who cannot spare the full month. You would join our month-long summer school programme, but go home half-way through. Assessment will be written, and we offer 1.5 US credits for this 17-night programme.

Please note all applicants must be aged 18 or over on 3 July 2024.

Subjects

  • British culture and society
  • Live theatre
  • Looking at London with Creative Writing
  • Looking at London with Business
  • Harry Potter and the order of popular British icons
