International Scholarships & Summer Schools
This page gives information about upcoming international programmes and summer schools run by U21 universities, which offer a scholarship or other benefit, such as additional courses, exclusive to students at U21 institutions.
Students are advised to consult with their home university’s study abroad/student exchange office prior to embarking on an international programme. Your home university may need to register your participation and be able to assist with information such as credit transfer, visas, accommodation and local knowledge.
