Summer School
Squeeze more out of summer!
Summer School courses run from November to February
The University offers a wide selection of undergraduate, postgraduate and preparatory courses in a range of subjects over the summer (November-February). If you’re looking at a new career direction, Summer School at UC is a great way to fast track your study. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to shorten the duration of your degree, spread your workload or improve your academic skills.
Workload and expectations
Most summer courses have an intensive teaching format and completing a summer course successfully requires your full commitment. For this reason, we recommend that you take no more than two courses during the summer.
For a manageable workload we recommend that you spread your courses across the November and January sessions rather than enrolling in two courses in one session.
Due to the timeframes for summer courses it is often not possible to be as generous with assignment extensions as it is for semester courses.
