Summer School programmes

Each programme is designed to develop a sophisticated knowledge of the subject area, provide hands-on experience and give you an insight into life at a leading UK university.

In response to the UK Government’s recent announcements with regards to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we have decided to cancel our Summer Schools for 2020.

We understand this may be disappointing but ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff has to be our priority.

We will be updating these webpages in due course with information about Summer Schools for 2021. If you have any questions, please get in touch using the contact information provided on the individual programme pages.

We appreciate your understanding in these unprecedented times and we hope to see you in Cardiff in the future.
