Summer Schools‌‌ 

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

The University of Manchester currently offers summer schools in France, Denmark, Italy, South Korea, Spain, and China.

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 or visit our GoAbroad desk in the Atrium, 1st floor, University Place.

Summer School Week

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