Summer Schools

Welcome to Summer Schools in Europe and the rest of the world, your ultimate platform for discovering and selecting the ideal Summer School course that suits your interests and aspirations. To make studying abroad more accessible and affordable, UCD engineering students can now participate in Summer Schools for credit. Depending on the course content, summer school participation can potentially transfer back as 5-ECTS/10-ECTS as an option/elective credit. Our Academic Exchange Coordinators (AECs) will review the course content and confirm before your participation if it can be applied to any option/elective credit on successful completion. The AECs are:

Qualifying Criteria:

Summer Schools will be open to both Stage 2 and Stage 3 engineering students.

Stage 2 students can apply the credit to the Stage 3 option/elective credit once approved by the AEC. The lesser workload in the autumn trimester will enable students to focus on their core modules. Summer School credit can also be applied to credits carried over from the previous Stage. 

Stage 3 students can participate in Summer Schools to enrich their studies and have a global experience to enhance their Resume, but due to the core requirements of their degree programme in Stage 4, option credits will not be transferred back. 

How will it work?

Step 1 – choose a Summer School that you are interested in. The list of Summer Schools on this page should be used as a guide only and is not a comprehensive list. 

Step 2 – Fill out the application form here and submit it to your Academic Exchange Coordinator by email for review.

Step 3 – Once approved by the AEC, students can apply directly to the Summer School.

Step 4 – Students must send confirmation of enrolment and a copy of the application form via the EngArch Student Connector once the Summer School has finished to allow the transfer of credits to be applied to the student's account in a timely manner.
