Arts and Humanities

The humanities help us understand the past, interpret the present, and shape the future. Our Humanities Summer Schools offer students the chance to explore history, philosophy, literature, international relations, and more in a stimulating and discussion-based environment.

Led by expert tutors, these courses go beyond exam preparation to encourage independent thought, debate, and deep engagement with complex ideas. Whether you’re fascinated by political power, historical turning points, or the great works of literature, our summer schools will challenge your thinking and expand your intellectual horizons.
