These include increasing your transferable skills; discovering new subjects and perspectives; developing your capacity for critical thinking; studying in a supportive environment; and even gaining credit from your home institution.
Thank you for using the website to apply for our programmes. Accessing full details of programmes and courses online reduces our carbon footprint. Please see the Institute’s carbon emissions statement here.
We are now actively reducing the amount of printed material we produce. Any print materials for the Summer Programmes will be printed using vegetable-based inks on environmentally-friendly recycled paper. Printed booklets are recyclable and biodegradable. A digital version of a booklet introducing our programmes will be posted here shortly, and a digital version of the full prospectus will be added in January. A full printed prospectus will only be sent to you if you specifically request one.
