Summary

This experience is for you if:

  • You are happy to be away from home abroad for 4 weeks+
  • You want an organised experience with a variety of different activities (some of which you may enjoy more than others) and are prepared to join in everything.
  • You enjoy spending time with other people, even if you have not met them before.
  • You understand that accommodation is shared (you cannot have your own room) on the basis of 2 to 3 people to a room and this will not be not a problem for you.
  • You want to “challenge yourself”, “try something new” and “get out of your comfort zone”
  • You understand that this is an academic programme, there will be a mixture of lectures, learning activities and some touristic elements to help you develop your skills set, cultural awareness, and employability
  • You are excited to explore something new, happy to fit in and be part of a larger group and flexible with how you approach the experience

This experience may not be for you if:

  • You are looking for a holiday
  • You are expecting lots of time off programme to undertake your own trips, visits and sight seeing
  • You need your own single accommodation
  • You prefer not to be in a group with other people for a long time
  • You don’t like trying new things and have difficulty when plans change
  • You need to take time off fixed programmes for rest breaks (our summer school programmes can be very busy with activities – you are expected to commit to them all)
  • You are expecting that the general programme will be personalised/amended to meet your specific wishes – this is unfair to the rest of the group and is not possible
