Modules and Pathways

You can study on the International Summer School for either three weeks or six weeks.  To find out the dates and cost of each programme click here.

• If you choose the three-week programme you will be able to study up to four modules, giving the potential to earn up to 20 UoL credits (equivalent to 10 ECTS).
• Alternatively you can choose the six-week programme and study eight modules, giving the potential to earn up to 40 UoL credits (equivalent to 20 ECTS).

Modules are grouped into pathways, with each pathway dedicated to a different theme.  We hope our thematic offerings will hold something for all interests and specialisations.  Within these pathways you can expect to find a range of exciting modules from which to choose.

You can opt to concentrate your studies within one pathway or alternatively to pick and mix modules to suit your needs and those of your home university.

If you want to continue improving your English language skills we offer a non-credit bearing module called English Communication Skills, which can be selected as one of your four choices.
