  • A diverse programme ranging from neuroscience to philosophy and including gender equality or cardiology.
  • Open to graduate and doctoral students as well as young researchers.

The Bordeaux Summer Schools programme will take place throughout June and July. Courses will cover very different disciplines ranging from African studies to cardiology to advanced materials to gender equality to neuroscience and more! These courses are highly selective and target international talents. The Bordeaux Summer Schools programme offers an enriching curricular experience with, depending on the discipline, a mixture of theoretical and practical training that demands a notable level of expertise and knowledge. 

Research oriented course content

The Bordeaux Summer Schools benefit from strong input regarding format and scientific content from the University of Bordeaux Graduate Research School, a central structure that coordinates the doctoral schools and the entire field of doctoral studies. A large majority of the summer schools are organised in collaboration with internationally renowned laboratories and institutes that share their expertise and cutting-edge facilities with the students and researchers that come to Bordeaux over the summer.
