Applying

Before applying, please ensure that you have read the programme requirements (including who can apply, English language requirements and visa guidance) and that you have understood our terms and conditions. Please also ensure that your application is completed in English.

Applying

To apply online and pay by credit or debit card click the Apply to the programme button at the top of this page. You will be taken to our secure online booking system where you can set up an account using your email address and will be taken through the application process step by step.  

If your preferred courses are full at the time of applying you can add yourself to a waiting list and must select a second choice. You will be notified, by email, if a place becomes available. We recommend that you apply early to avoid missing out.  

As part of the application process, you will need to submit a recent colour photograph of yourself (head and shoulders only). For example, a passport photo where you are facing forwards, looking straight at the camera would be suitable. This is for office use only and is not shared elsewhere. 

Application deadline 

Applications will be accepted until 29 June 2025, two weeks before the start of the International Summer Programme.  

What happens once you have submitted your application?

Once you have completed your online application you will receive:

• an email to acknowledge that your application has been submitted (NB: this is not confirmation of acceptance onto the International Summer Programme)
• a payment receipt email to confirm your registration fee has been received (15% of your fee or closer to 16% if you are attending for multiple weeks) 

If you meet all of the requirements and have provided all of the relevant information your application will be processed and accepted. 

NB: If you are applying via your University or Institution, please liaise with your group contact. We will check names and payment details against the list provided by your group contact.

If your application is incomplete (e.g. missing information about your language proficiency) you will receive an email from the team requesting this information, and your application will be held as 'submitted' until this is received. 

Once your application has been accepted you will receive: 

• an email to confirm your place on the International Summer Programme
• an email containing a PDF of your acceptance letter including allocated courses and accommodation if applicable. This letter can be used as supporting documentation for visa applications 

You will also be emailed login details for the VLE (from February onwards), where you can access the Student Handbook, Course Materials and resources and information about your College accommodation. 

What happens if I haven't received the above emails?

Some emails sent from our office and booking system are occasionally redirected to junk or spam folders. Please ensure that you check these folders regularly once you have applied. 

Balance of payment deadline

The balance of payment date for the International Summer Programme is 18 May 2025, eight weeks before the start of the International Summer Programme. If the full fee is not paid by this date the University reserves the right to cancel your application and allocate places to those who may be on waiting lists for courses.
