Courses are of the highest academic quality, based on regular LSE undergraduate courses and taught by leading LSE faculty, and are accompanied by a varied social and professional skills development programme, all delivered on our central London campus. The Summer School runs in three sessions of three weeks each, from June to August each year. Over 6,500 students joined us in London for Summer School 2023.
