With the summer break on the horizon, you may be seeking ideas to put your holidays to
good use - both in terms of enjoyment and future career prospects. Attending a summer

university life as an international student, make new friends from all over the world and
grow through the challenge of living in another country.
With this in mind, we are pleased to introduce to you a selection of summer schools
offered by European universities. These are selective programmes, fully taught in English
and open to motivated students from around the world.
We would also like to draw your attention to our latest report "A Guide to Studying

never simple. This is our attempt to provide some guidelines, however.
