Registration period open for the UAB Barcelona Summer School for non-UAB students

The registration period for students not enrolled in the UAB to sign up for three-week courses offered mainly in English in the UAB Barcelona Summer School will open on 18 February. Those signing up before 15 April will receive a 10% early bird discount. This year's edition includes 25 courses in all academic fields, seven of which are completely new. Students can also enrol in Spanish courses and participate in leisure activities in which they can meet other students and discover the university and its surroundings.

The courses are offered mornings at the UAB campus, during two different periods: from 22 June to 10 July and from 13 to 31 July. Each course is worth 6 ECTS credits. Most of them are offered in English, except for a course on visions of Spain in modern cinema and Spanish courses for foreigners (levels A2 and B1). The seven new courses focus on Spanish politics, advanced programming, marine mammal diseases, gastronomy and enology, entrepreneurship and innovation, Mediterranean biodiversity and modern international relations.

In addition, the UAB Barcelona Summer School includes the Buddy Programme, which aims to make it easier for international students to come into contact with UAB students for the purpose of discovering campus activities and the local culture and society. Throughout the three course weeks, students will be able to practice languages, take nature walks around campus, do sports, share a meal at the international potluck, etc. Not only that, but UAB Barcelona Summer School students will have free access to the Servei d'Activitat Física sports facilities.

In addition to the 10% discount for those registering before 15 April, students from the YERUN Network and ECIU member universities will enjoy a 20% discount on registration fees. All information on courses, prices, requirements, registration, housing and credit validation can be consulted at the UAB Barcelona Summer School web.
