International Summer School at the University of Exeter

International Summer School at the University of Exeter
5th July - 16th July 2021

The 2021 Online International Summer School is designed to bring students together from across the world, engage with our world class academic colleagues from our colleges in accredited courses and explore things from new perspectives while forging new connections across cultures and languages. The last year has been unprecedented in the way we have learnt to communicate and engage online more beneficially but it has also seen many examples of connections to different cultures and opinions becoming harder to make as we all understandably remain within our bubbles. The overall goal is to provide an truly memorable learning experience while encouraging students to maintain and develop their understanding of the different perspectives surrounding global challenges, and have some fun making new friends while doing so!

Within the Academic Programme Each student has the opportunity to join one or more accredited courses delivered by our academic staff, expert guest speakers, and in some cases virtual field trips! The courses will be delivered online with pre-recorded content and activities to help students prepare for in depth live sessions, delivered on the learning platform. Each student who joins a course will also have the opportunity to take part in a multidisciplinary group challenge across borders to see how they could make an impact in both their local and wider environments on large scale international issues.

The entire summer activity will be held on a fully responsive platform that you can access either by mobile, tablet or desktop and is supported for extended office hours by the University of Exeter International Summer School team. There may be some additional activities available in the week preceding the start of the programme and the platform will be available to all registered on 28th June 2021.
