What is a summer school?
A summer school is usually between 1 – 3 weeks at a University during the summer.
What do you do?
You take a course related to your degree (or not) along with a social programme. There are students from across the world attend.
Why do it? • Chance to take a class in a subject not available at Strathclyde • If you can’t commit to a semester exchange, an opportunity to go
abroad. • Avoids class matching • More affordable • Offers a taster of a country and culture
