FAQs about Summer Schools

Need Help?

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.
Do I get a certificate by completing a Summer Schools course?

Yes. On completion you receive a certificate confirming that you completed the course programme. It will include the course title and dates, along with your name, and will be signed by the summer school leaders. These certificates are not from our partner universities or colleges.

What is the minimum academic standard for your courses?

What's most important is a passion for your chosen subject and an enthusiasm to learn. The application process includes you writing a personal statement to demonstrate your commitment to the subject. A good command of English is recommended and for most courses we will assess this when you arrive. Our tutors have experience supporting students of all abilities.

Will these courses help me get a place at partner universities or give me credits with my school?

Summer Schools teaching is designed to advance your learning. Because university entry requirements and school credits vary between institutions, we recommend you speak with your own school or university about this.

How do I prepare for attending my chosen course?

Before arriving at summer school you will receive a welcome pack. This may include a programme outline and a piece of work or reading to be completed before you arrive. If this is difficult to understand, your tutor will help you when you get here.

My area of interest isn't covered by the courses on offer. Can you still help me?

Our programmes and courses are designed to help you enrich your knowledge and understanding, and we want to ensure you have tuition from an expert in the relevant department. It may not be possible to expand our curriculum to include your preferred area of interest, but whatever course you attend will help you develop valuable academic skills.

How much of the UK will I see on cultural excursions?

We want to ensure all our students, particularly those coming to the UK, to experience a range of trips and visits. These can include exploring historic cities such as London, Bath and Canterbury, visiting the stunning Blenheim Palace and the fascinating Harry Potter Studios. The programme we arrange will vary depending on the age group and dates of your course.
