Find out all you need to know to about registering for the Bordeaux Summer Schools and your experience here in Bordeaux!
The Bordeaux Summer Schools are fee-paying courses.
For on-site summer schools, registration fees cover the cost of courses, accommodation, breakfast and lunch as well as local transport and social events. Travel to Bordeaux from the home country is not included.
Scholarships and grants are available under certain conditions. To apply for a summer school as well as for such financial aid, please consult the specific website of the summer school and follow the application guidelines (detailed CV with cover letter required in most cases). Once the application is approved, a confirmation email is sent with the payment procedure to be followed.
The Bordeaux Summer Schools are mainly organised within the campus sites of the University of Bordeaux. Classes take place in the recently renovated and/or constructed buildings of the Talence Campus. Classrooms and laboratories are equipped with the latest teaching and experiment facilities, providing a high-level learning environment. From the campus, the city centre is accessible via the tram in less than 20 minutes.
Top quality residences are pre-reserved for international students attending the Bordeaux Summer Schools. These mini-studios contain a sleeping area, kitchenette and shower room/WC. Located near the campus, students are thus comfortably lodged during their stay in Bordeaux and able to reach their classes by foot. The city centre is accessible via the tram in less than 20 minutes.
Most summer schools hold an opening welcome cocktail the first evening to launch the event and then conclude with a gala dinner to celebrate the end of the course.
Participants also benefit from an extensive social programme. Half-day excursions are organised in order to discover the surrounding region and to promote integration and networking with fellow participants.
By organising the schools at the same time of year and on a common campus site, we hope to promote encounters and exchanges between different disciplines, opinions and passions!
To apply for a summer school, please consult the specific website of the summer school and follow the application guidelines. The application deadline and requirements are specified on the application webpage (detailed CV with cover letter required in most cases).
Our team will review your application and keep you posted on its status within the timeframe indicated on the application webpage.
