How does it work?

Our Global Summer Experience offer can change from year to year and the destinations available to students will vary depending on the type of summer school experience you take part in.

For our Global Summer Experience Scholarship and Exchange programmes, we aim to confirm our selected universities in January/February of each academic year. Our cohort programme and any programmes that are run by partner network/organisations, such as Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) or Worldwide Universities Network (WUN), will be advertised on our Student Hub (for current students only) and on our social media channels when details are made available to us. This is usually between January and April each year, so keep checking back for the latest updates.

Universities usually provide information on their upcoming summer schools around January or February in the year that the summer school will take place.

If you are a current student, you can visit the Student Hub (login required) for the most up-to-date information on our Global Summer Experience offer. Students planning to apply for a Global Summer Experience Scholarship, exchange, or another specific programme should also visit the Student Hub for application instructions and other key information.
