Want to join Kingston University’s summer school programme but can’t commit to the full 4-weeks? Here’s everything you need to know about our 2-week summer school programme.
The half summer school programme
Get a taste for studying abroad with Kingston University.
Open to international students from around the world, this 2-week summer school programme at Kingston University provides the opportunity to experience university-level study during the summer and British culture first-hand.
This programme is normally delivered across four weeks. However, if you need to go home halfway through, this 2-week offering can provide a taster for studying abroad.
