Part-time study is a great way to boost English language experience, academic skills, and personal development without the commitment and cost of a full-time course. Whether you’re looking to up-skill in a certain subject area, learn completely new practical skills, or receive an academic boost in preparation for university applications, part-time summer school pathways offer a wide range of opportunities to meet these needs. 

Here at Study Now, we are partnered with a host of summer school providers who facilitate different courses all over the world. From completely recreational programmes to specialist sport and skill-based opportunities, there is something for everyone in the summer school market. Some of the most popular summer school programmes include sports courses hosted by professional clubs, surfing and climbing programmes hosted along the coast and in the mountains, and specialist academic courses facilitated at schools and universities – these can be subject-specific or with a driven focus such as Ox-Bridge university applications. Summer schools are generally run through the months of July and August when most mainstream educational institutions are on a holiday break. 

One of the biggest benefits to exploring summer school opportunities is the additional bonus of language development that comes with international programmes. Whilst some summer schools out there are dedicated to developing language skills, completing an international summer school course that focusses on another area will still contribute towards advancing your language abilities by offering you the opportunity to live in another country. By meeting new people and exploring new skills, you’ll practice your language and become more confident in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
