Spend your summer living the life of an Oxford, Yale, or Sorbonne student. These short-term academic programs allow high school and university students to study a specific subject—from Medicine and Law to Fashion Design and Coding, while living in university halls.

It is the ultimate "test drive" of university life. Your days are split between rigorous academic workshops led by university tutors and fun cultural excursions, day trips, and social events. It’s the perfect mix of learning and adventure.

Summer schools abroad offer students the opportunity to study, travel, and experience life in a new country during the summer months, without committing to a full academic year.

These programs typically run between 2 and 8 weeks and combine academic learning, language development, and cultural activities. Summer schools are one of the most flexible and accessible ways to gain international experience, making them ideal for students who want to explore future study options or enhance their academic profile.

• Experience international education in a short timeframe
