Lancaster University
The ÈÕ±¾ÎÞÂë Lancaster University Summer Institute is a three-week programme which provides an introduction to the scientific processes, concepts and issues that shape the environment within which the Earth’s biosphere must function.Ìý
Highlights
Location: Lancaster is home to several museums and galleries and there’s lots to see in the various cinemas and theatres. The city itself is rich with culture and heritage, with the castle, Ashton Memorial, a cathedral, Roman bath house ruins, the priory and Dalton Square.ÌýÌý
College engagement: Lancaster University is made up of eight undergraduate colleges, so when our summer school students arrive we split them up into our colleges and introduce them to life as a Lancaster student. Students will come together from all our summer schools for core activities including orientation, college cup day, and some lectures.Ìý
Evening and weekends: In addition, we offer a range of free evening activities that are led by our student ambassadors. These are wide ranging and include sports, art, dance, baking, environmental and film nights. At weekends we put on a number of site-seeing tours to Lancaster castle, Lake District, Liverpool, York and Manchester so students can see more of the UK.ÌýÌý
