Summer school courses
Note: Summer school course availability is still being confirmed for the upcoming Summer School period.
Most summer courses have an intensive teaching format that require your full commitment, so you are recommended to take no more than two courses during the summer. You should also choose courses that will balance your workload across both SU2 and SU1 periods. Engineering First Year students may only take a maximum of 30 points during Summer School.
New to UC? If you're new to university study, we recommend one of thepreparatory options over summerinstead of any degree-level summer courses (which are condensed into a shorter timeframe and so are very intensive).
