Summer Schools‌‌ 

Whether you are looking to learn about a new place, add some more variety to your current studies, brush up on your language skills or simply see your subject from a new perspective, summer schools offer you a valuable opportunity to study abroad for a short period over the summer vacation. 

The University of Manchester currently offers programmes at summer schools in France, Denmark, Italy, South Korea, Spain, China and, from summer 2027, India (subject to final confirmation).

These summer schools run through the Placements and International Programmes Office and some funding may be available for suitably qualified students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, subject to availability. 

Summer schools are open to any undergraduate student who is not in their final year, with a minimum 50% grade average (or 60% for Denmark).

I‌f you have any questions, please get in touch with us at goabroad@manchester.ac.uk. 

Summer School Week

We generally run an online Summer School Week in early February (9th - 13th February 2026) where you can find out more about summer schools and what you can get out of them. This will include guest talks from our summer school partners, hearing about past students' experiences, and more information about funding availability. ‌Students can find the link to recordings of these sessions on the Go Abroad YouTube Channel: Summer School Week 2026.
