Warwick International Summer School is a three-week residential programme for current undergraduates at universities around the world. Applicants will normally be in their second or third years with a proven academic record and working at the equivalent of an upper second class UK degree (2:1) or GPA of 3.0.

Students applying for the summer school will need some knowledge of the subject, although we welcome applications from a wide range of backgrounds. Students will need to complete an application form and, if English is not the language of tuition in their home country, will require a minimum IELTS of 6.5 (or equivalent). Students will need to have completed at least one year at University to be eligible for entry to the Summer School.

It will be important to provide details of your interest and/or experience in the programme you choose.

The University of Warwick is consistently ranked in the top 10 of UK universities, providing rigorous academic teaching, world-class research opportunities and excellent campus facilities. It is an international university, welcoming students from over 120 countries, with a strong cosmopolitan feel and cultural opportunities to suit everyone. You will have the chance to meet new friends, learn in a diverse and stimulating environment and take advantage of international networking opportunities.

In order to help you settle quickly, we will have Summer School Buddies - current university students, who will be on campus to greet you, give you a tour of the facilities and make you feel at home from Day 1.

In 2013, the school will run from 30th June - 20th July.

There are 2 courses to choose from: Creative Writing and Global Integrative Business Project.

You will have 48 contact hours in the form of lectures, seminars and practical workshops including support with writing for academic purposes. The programmes will be taught by distinguished Warwick academics and their tutorial teams and will be supplemented by specialist guest speakers who will be leaders in their fields.

As well as challenging academic study, there is an exciting social diary including a Welcome BBQ, a farewell Gala Dinner and trips to famous tourist destinations including London, Oxford and a theatre trip to nearby Stratford upon Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare.
