From the Principal

King’s College London is a leading world-class university. Ranked in the top 30 universities in the world, King’s has internationally recognised and acclaimed research, nine diverse Schools of expertise supported by pre-eminent academics in their disciplines, an enviable global alumni network, and a portfolio of degrees, programmes and events that are globally recognised for their excellence. Conveniently located in the heart of London, King’s is also one of the United Kingdom’s oldest and most prestigious universities, and it is with great pleasure that we open our doors over the summer to offer students the opportunity to learn and thrive from the expertise we have built over the past 180 years. The Summer School attracts top students from around the world. The rich mix of cultures, experience and knowledge alongside the choice of courses and areas of study available generates a unique environment for students to flourish both academically and socially. Through attending the Summer School, students will become part of London, one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world. We use London as our classroom which offers exceptional cultural, commercial, legal and scientific opportunities to students. I join the Summer School team in hoping you will choose to apply for our exciting programme this summer.

Professor Sir Richard Trainor Principal & President, King’s College London

About the Summer School The Summer School will give you the freedom to broaden and deepen your knowledge and skills. Choose to gain insight into new disciplines or expand your knowledge in familiar subjects; it is your choice. We are proud to be one of the most internationally diverse summer programmes in the UK. In 2012 we saw students from 69 countries and more than 350 institutions around the globe, ensuring an exciting mix of cultures and people. You will leave us with broadened horizons and life-changing experiences from one of the world’s truly global cities.

A global reputation King’s College London is one of the world’s leading universities with a distinguished history. For over 180 years King’s has made an extraordinary contribution to modern life, particularly in the arts, education, natural and mathematical sciences, healthcare, law and social sciences. The Summer School continues this pioneering tradition with a unique selection of summer courses to challenge and inspire. King’s College London is one of England’s most historic and prestigious university institutions. Founded in 1829 it is the fourth oldest university in England and comes with a long tradition of academic endeavour.

Academic quality To help maintain our leading position and to provide excellent quality to our students, all of our courses must meet strict academic regulations. Each course has a minimum of 45 contact hours over each three-week session, and is designed so that students joining us from other institutions can receive King’s credit.

programme dates 1 July – 9 August Each course is fully assessed and marked, often through a mixture of coursework, presentations and group projects. Students who meet the attendance criteria will receive a transcript.

The Waterloo Campus is next to London’s South Bank arts and cultural quarter, home to the British Film Institute, the Royal Festival Hall, the Hayward Gallery and the National Theatre.

World class teaching

Central accommodation

The academic quality of our courses is paramount, which is why our faculty, specially selected from King’s and other universities around the globe, is so important. You’ll learn mainly in small or medium-sized groups led by tutors who are experts in their fields and passionate about what they do.

Accommodation is optional but can be booked for the entire duration of your summer programme, plus additional nights if you wish to arrive early or stay longer. This is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis so you should book early to ensure accommodation is available. Rooms are offered at our Stamford Street and Moonraker Point apartments which are a short journey from class. You’ll have your own bedroom, including en-suite facilities and share a communal kitchen. There are on-site laundry facilities, 24-hour security and even a gym at Stamford Street Apartments.

Interactive classes Most of our courses have an interactive approach and may include seminars, discussion groups, scenarios and role-play. We try to limit the size of classes so you can really get to know your fellow students and tutor. Many students come expecting large anonymous lectures and are often surprised that they leave having made lifelong friends and long-lasting memories of their time in class.

London as your classroom We’ll take you off campus and into the rich cultural, political and economic environment of London as much as possible to help connect your academic study with the real world. You might attend performances or exhibitions, visit local businesses and international organisations, or perhaps enjoy a day trip to one of a huge number of exciting destinations outside London. All courses take place at our central Strand and Waterloo campuses which sit on either side of the River Thames. The Strand Campus was originally opened in 1831 and overlooks the river, midway between the Houses of Parliament and St Paul’s Cathedral. Nearby the shopping and entertainment destinations of Covent Garden, the West End and Soho offer an unparalleled concentration of theatres, cinemas, art galleries, restaurants, bars and shopping opportunities.

Lively social programme A lively and varied optional social programme is offered to all Summer School students to complement your course. Events, several of which are free for Summer School students, are held at the King’s Waterfront venue with its spectacular views over the River Thames, or off campus in the hub of the city. You could join a boat party down the Thames, enjoy world-class theatre, test your knowledge at a quiz evening or soak up the atmosphere with a historical walking tour around London.

‘To have the opportunity to come to London and experience studying at a prestigious university was amazing. I wanted to meet people from other countries and exchange opinions on various topics as well as learn their points of view. What I experienced and learnt during the Summer School at King’s exceeded my expectations.’ Dorota Piwowarczyk Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland

admission to the summer school

academic overview Our faculty

Assessment & examinations

The academic quality of our courses is paramount: that’s why our tutors are so important. Many come from King’s but for specific expertise we may also use leading external tutors and faculty from universities across the globe. Each of our tutors, whether internal or external to the College, undergo a selection process to ensure they are engaging educators who enjoy working with students and can offer a unique and truly valuable learning experience.

We are keen to ensure that assessment is not simply something that needs to be done, but that it forms an integral part of the learning experience and is intellectually stimulating. The exact type of assessment differs from course to course, from combinations of essays and presentations to reflective learning journals and in-class tests. Our popular intensive language courses have their own assessment regulations. The Summer School’s board structure upholds the College’s commitment to a transparent and fair grading process.

Our courses King’s has a long standing global reputation as a centre of exceptional learning. That’s why every course we offer must meet strict academic regulations and is scrutinised by academic peers at the College before approval. Each course has a minimum of 45 contact hours over three weeks, so our courses are as intensive as they are rewarding. Most of our courses also have an interactive approach to teaching and first-class learning, which may include discussion groups, scenarios and roleplay in addition to lectures and seminars. The courses take advantage of the College’s central London location, and most courses offer stimulating trips and visits as part of the academic programme. From visits to globally recognised exhibitions and museums, undertaking research and meetings with local businesses, entrepreneurs and law firms, to exciting excursions outside London, these trips allow you to embrace ‘London as a classroom’ and help take study out of the classroom and into the real world.

Course books & texts

‘The King’s College London Summer School is a stimulating time for many of our students – a departure point to gain new skills and knowledge. This is reflected in the design of our courses, many of them unique to the Summer School, allowing students to expand their academic and career horizons.’ Dr Alexander Heinz Summer School Academic Convenor

In most cases we do not require students to prepare for their course in advance and you will not usually be expected to buy course books before you arrive. Course books and texts will usually be available in our library or provided as part of your course. Please check our website, or contact the Summer School office for further guidance.

‘My tutor was great. I enjoyed my time in class, especially the conversations and debates in the seminars. Our class even went to Paris to visit the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); it was a great experience.’

Grades & transcripts

Ilham Putra Tengker University of Indonesia

Students who have met the attendance criteria will receive a transcript. These transcripts are normally ready in the autumn following your attendance on one or more of our courses, and after the marks have passed through our internal quality assurance procedures. The Summer School publishes its marking criteria, so you know it is a very transparent process. Grading may be in percentage grades or letter grades, both of which can normally be translated into any grading system in the world.

‘The reason why I opted for Summer School was related to my professional background as I have been working for the United Nations and other international institutions in the field of international cooperation and development. It was a good chance to refresh my academic knowledge.’

Credit

Stefano Perugini Italy

Our courses are for King’s credit, i.e. many of our students are awarded credit by their home university for the summer courses they take at King’s. If you hope to receive credit for any of the Summer School courses back home, this is something you will need to discuss and confirm with your own university. As a guide we suggest a three-week course is usually equivalent to 4 US credits or 7.5 ECTS.

‘My eyes were opened to a new career route I am interested in pursuing thanks to a guest speaker from the World Bank. It was also very useful from a networking point of view as I now have great contacts from all over the world.’ Keleenna Onyeaka Felician College, USA

‘King’s offers students the opportunity to live not only in the heart of London, but also in the heart of the world. This fast-paced city is crossed by so many cultures that you feel connected to places all around the world.

London and Film Tutor: Dr Lawrence Webb Available in Session One and Two Offering the perfect introduction to London and to British Cinema, this course introduces significant debates within film studies through a focus on three key themes in the representation of London on film: Victorian London, London at War and Swinging London. As a student, you will develop a valuable insight into British cinema and the history and culture of London while exploring its streets and parks, its museums, galleries, libraries, and buildings. You’ll explore the cultural diversity of urban life, focusing on the cinematic representation of fictional Londoners such as Sherlock Holmes, Dorian Gray and Sweeney Todd, as well as the lesser known cultural history of the city. Getting to know the British capital through its cinema, this course focuses on films which are set and shot within walking distance of King’s, in the heart of the city. Screenings each morning are followed by afternoon seminars, London walks and visits to key institutions and film locations.

Museum of London: curating the city

Comic Culture in British Film & TV

Virginia Woolf – Life and Writing

Tutor: Dr Hope Wolf Session One

Tutor: Dr Louis Bayman Session One

Tutor: Dr Wendy Weber Session One

Gain unprecedented access to the fascinating 20th century collections at the Museum of London, including social and oral history, art, photography and fashion.

Whether it’s Borat, Shaun of the Dead, or Love, Actually, the global success of British comedy is a testament to the vitality of a tradition that draws on expertise from Charlie Chaplin to Mr. Bean.

Get to know one of the 20th century’s most influential literary innovators, Virginia Woolf by bringing this incredible author and her era to life in the city she lived, worked and loved in.

Together, we will examine the impact of historical, cultural and artistic changes on 20th century London, and the city as a site of conflict and debate in the context of modern curatorial practice.

This course investigates British humour as a dynamic and developing phenomenon. Using examples like the Carry On films, Ealing Comedy, Monty Python, Blackadder and Steptoe and Son, we’ll find out what constitutes classic British comedy. We will seek to understand British humour through reference to national culture, and will consider recurrent motifs in British comedy, from class commentary to slapstick, from realism to nonsense.

Drawing from her fiction, essays, diaries, and extensive letters, we will venture into the complex world of literary genius, mental illness, and cutting edge ideas about gender and sexuality, gaining a unique insight into Woolf’s radical innovations in literary technique as well as her culturally complex approach to gender and sexuality. A great benefit for anyone keen to broaden their understanding of an important period in literary history, we’ll visit the key places of relevance to enhance our understanding of Woolf and the historic cultural moment she occupied, depicted, and transformed through her art. We will visit Hyde Park and the places she grew up in, Gordon Square Garden, a favourite spot for stimulating conversations that contributed to the vibrancy and innovations of the Bloomsbury set as well as the Reading Room of The British Museum and even a day’s visit to Charleston: Artist Home and Garden, in East Sussex.

Guided by curators and the academic tutor, you will have the opportunity to explore life in the capital through the items housed at this nationally-acclaimed museum. Students on this course will have the rare chance to go behind the scenes at one of Britain’s largest and most successful museums, getting the opportunity to view materials not available to the general public. You’ll be able to discuss museum objects with the experts who look after them and explore how they might be displayed. Crucially, you’ll also consider how to present issues and ideas to diverse audiences, discuss what makes a successful museum display, explore how museums should handle controversial subjects and consider the ethical and financial issues facing the heritage industry today.

Shakespeare in London Tutors: Dr Sarah Dustagheer Available in Session One and Two Study Shakespeare in the city which made him successful. We will walk the streets in the footsteps of this legendary playwright, see paintings and buildings he would have observed and, of course, watch his plays performed in the famous Globe theatre, a reconstruction of the playhouse for which Shakespeare wrote. Classes for this course offer an exciting opportunity to discuss all of this – discovering more about Shakespeare’s plays and culture as we do so. But Shakespeare in London is not simply concerned with the past. Shakespeare has a huge presence in 21st century London – perhaps even larger than in the 16th century city. The course engages with contemporary manifestations of the playwright and his works, as we seek to understand the near-mythical hold which Shakespeare still has over audiences. Studying a play each week, lectures will offer crucial social and historical context which will be discussed in relation to the play in the seminars which follow. You’ll experience off-campus visits to performances, museums and galleries, as well as workshops to ensure that you develop a critical vocabulary and framework to express your new-found understanding of Shakespeare.

Student profile ‘The course was a great learning experience; we were able to sit down with the curators of the Museum of London to talk about fantastic exhibits. It was a really inspiring learning experience. We had a walking tour to Camden Town and I was impressed by the tutor’s passion, sense of humour and abundant knowledge of the stories and history behind the area. If I got the chance, I would definitely come back here again!’ Ying Zhao Renmin University of China Museum of London: curating the city

The British Monarchy – Royal Politics, Power and Celebrity Tutor: Dr Luke Blaxill Available in Session One and Two There have been few more powerful or enduring symbols in modern world history than the British crown. Its political power may have waned, but, as the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton has demonstrated, it has lost little of its magic. On this course you’ll get behind that magic to ask why the crown – and the kings and queens who wore it – have continued to dazzle both at home and abroad for hundreds of years. With lectures and seminars just minutes from Buckingham Palace itself, we will examine the remarkable lives of sovereigns from James I to the present Queen Elizabeth II. Focusing on the relationship between the crown and the people, we will investigate how the monarchy has responded to the challenges of rapidly changing politics, society and culture in Britain and the wider world. We will explore London’s royal heritage by visiting world famous museums, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Museum of London, and the National Portrait Gallery. We will watch the changing of the guard, and visit the rooms of state in Buckingham Palace.

Attracting Arts and Humanities students as well as those keen to deepen their knowledge of comedy, British culture and film and television for personal or professional development, we will study humour as a central aspect of British culture and identity, and the role of London as a comic location. The course will include screenings and visits to well-known filming sites as well as the potential for links to events at the British Film Institute and practitioners currently making British comedies. There will also be visits to the Comedy Store, a live BBC filming, the Museum of Film and Television and the Victoria and Albert Museum Theatre Exhibition. A little reading – Select bibliography I.Q.

Media, Gender & Culture

British Crime Writing

Tutor: Rachel O’Neill Session One

Tutor: Sarah Crofton Session One

How does media organise social and cultural life? What is the ‘sexualisation of culture’, and what does it mean for contemporary gender relations? How can we approach critical issues of power and agency in the analysis of ‘postfeminism’? Can media be used as a resource for contemporary cultural politics and activism? By who, and in what ways?

Victorian detectives in their consulting rooms; cut-purses lurking in the shadows of Westminster; cynical coppers; idealistic barristers; charming fraudsters; mob bosses in east-end watering holes – for centuries the popular imagination has peopled London with characters defined by crime.

This course takes an innovative and dynamic approach, exploring these and other questions and introducing students to critical debates in gender studies, cultural theory and media analysis. Taking contemporary media culture as our critical focus, we will examine issues of gender and social change; power and representation; culture and agency; intimacy and mediation; social critique and cultural politics. Particularly suited to those interested in cultural studies, media and communication, sociology and psychology, students on this course will engage with a range of theoretical perspectives and learn how to analyse a variety of media texts. Taking full advantage of our location in central London, we’ll also visit many of the capital’s foremost cultural institutes and have the opportunity to meet with insiders from the media and cultural industries. A little reading – Select bibliography R. Gill, Gender and the Media, 2007 A. McRobbie, The Aftermath of Feminism: Gender, Culture and Social Change, 2009

But whose stories do we choose to tell? What are the moral implications of crime fiction? Why are puzzle-style detective stories so enduring? On this course, you will delve into a range of crime-writing genres including detective fiction, caper tales, police procedurals, courtroom dramas and true crime. You’ll gain a solid overview of a wide variety of texts and explore key questions posed by critics of crime fiction. We will investigate the many generic conventions of crime writing and interrogate the pleasures and pitfalls of reading it. You’ll also have the chance to take advantage of the ideal London location to explore sites made famous by celebrities of crime, from Sherlock Holmes to Jack the Ripper. Classic texts will be mixed with screenings of modern crime dramas and a theatre trip as we consider the implications of constructing crime as narrative.

Session TWO 22 July – 9 August Jane Austen’s England

Creative Writing – Urban Tales

Tutor: Emma Newport Session Two

Tutor: Xiaolu Guo Session Two

One of the world’s most famous authors, Jane Austen created a complex textual world for her characters to inhabit that continues to capture the imagination of readers across the globe. This course gives you a unique opportunity to examine Austen’s heroes and villains and the England in which they lived.

How can ‘outsiders’ or ‘new arrivals’ narrate their personal stories in a foreign landscape? How can they bring their own histories into understanding another history? These questions have long formed an important part of many literary traditions. Through study, discussion and your own creative writing, this course will consider themes spanning arrivals, encounters, and the search for self and identity. Here, you’ll develop your interest, ability and future prospects as a writer while exploring themes within urban societies. Above all, you’ll have the chance to enrich your intellectual capacity to reflect our modern age in your own writing and thinking. You’ll engage with an international range of texts including Balzac’s ‘Lost Illusions’, Calvino’s ‘Invisible Cities’, Selby’s ‘Brooklyn Trilogy’ and Houellebecq’s ‘Atomised’, as well as British writers who reflect our modern lives from different angles. We will compare Orwell’s London with that of Ian Sinclair for example, and what we can learn about Shanghai from Eileen Chang’s 1930’s Shanghai love stories and J.G. Ballad’s childhood experiences in Emperor of the Sun. Alongside lectures and seminars, you’ll also gain inspiration from and interact with established writers by attending poetry readings and other literature events in London’s different cultural venues.

You will study the Regency period: the roles of men and women and what they read, saw and experienced, and how Jane Austen responded to it in her novels. How far does she reflect her time and to what extent does she challenge the society in which she lived? Are Austen’s novels really full of happy endings?

Student profile

You will also explore the modern reader’s relationship with Austen’s world, how film directors interpret it, and why Austen’s creations continue to hold appeal for writers of crime, sci-fi, horror and romance, from P.D. James to Helen Fielding.

‘The pace at which courses are taught at King’s Summer School is perfect for the introduction of new knowledge to inexperienced students, as well as to challenge those who come having had some experience in that field of study.

Studying Austen in London provides access to an extensive range of original resources held at the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery and many others, not to mention trips to Bath and Alton and a guided walk tracing Regency London, all alongside screenings of the author’s major novels.

Being able to learn through field trips and listening to the perspectives of classmates from other parts of the world was truly an enriching experience.

A little reading – Select bibliography The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, 2005 Clara Tuite, Romantic Austen: Sexual Politics and the Literary Canon, 2002 Linda Troost & Sayre Greenfield, Jane Austen in Hollywood, 2001

As an English major, the course has been useful in adding to what I already know about the subject, while pushing me to think more rigorously about how best to be a specialist in the field.’

Queer Streets of London

De Wei Yuen National University of Singapore Jane Austen’s England

Tutors: Matias Gardin and Victoria Carroll Session Two From the gender ambiguity of Shakespearean theatre and the scandal of the Oscar Wilde trials, to the groundbreaking films of Derek Jarman, London has always been at the forefront of queer activism and academia. Asking how Queer Theory seeks to illuminate the ways sexuality is constructed, articulated and experienced in historically and culturally specific ways, this course offers an exciting chance to study the interplay between sex and gender, sexuality and difference, performance and discourse, deviance and dissidence. We’ll discuss the fundamentals of queer theory and how it relates to lived experiences and the built environment, using interdisciplinary analysis and a variety of cultural production and case studies. You’ll gain close reading skills, the ability to write sophisticated academic responses and to critically engage with a variety of material. You’ll study the history of queer theory in the very spaces and places which have constituted its intellectual arrival and that have witnessed queer activism. This course takes you out of the classroom to intimately engage with the social contexts and physical spaces which situate sexuality as a living, breathing, changing entity – an ideal course for those nearing the end of their BA or MA studies.

Student profile ‘Overall, the course was fantastic and a great way to learn about London. I’ve gained a deeper insight into not only the history and representation of London in British cinema, but also the social, racial, and economic issues throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. My tutor was very knowledgeable about British cinema and was eager to share his knowledge, bringing in guest-speakers to give us more details about this subject.’ Hye-Jin Yun Barnard College of Columbia University, USA London & Film

London and Film

Literature in the City

Tutor: Dr Louis Bayman Available in Session One and Two

Tutor: Niamh Campbell Session Two

Offering the perfect introduction to London and to British Cinema, this course introduces significant debates within film studies through a focus on three key themes in the representation of London on film: Victorian London, London at War and Swinging London.

Offering an exciting opportunity to explore your own experiences of cities as urban spaces in terms of key texts and literary theory, this course examines the relationship between narrative representation and urban space by closely ‘reading’ three cities in modern literature – London, Dublin and Berlin.

As a student, you will develop a valuable insight into British cinema and the history and culture of London while exploring its streets and parks, its museums, galleries, libraries, and buildings.

From Haussmann’s Paris to Victorian London, the labyrinthine London of Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf, the mythical Dublin of James Joyce, and the beleaguered Berlin of Christopher Isherwood, you’ll use a combination of political, social, and literary theory. You’ll navigate literal and figurative cityscapes through class discussion, short assignments, and exercises in urban rambling, including visits to the Charles Dickens Museum and the Museum of London.

You’ll explore the cultural diversity of urban life, focusing on the cinematic representation of fictional Londoners such as Sherlock Holmes, Dorian Gray and Sweeney Todd, as well as the lesser known cultural history of the city. Getting to know the British capital through its cinema, this course focuses on films which are set and shot within walking distance of King’s, in the heart of the city. Screenings each morning are followed by afternoon seminars, London walks and visits to key institutions and film locations.

By focusing on the interface between the body and the city you will combine historical and literary analysis to develop both a sophisticated grasp of modernity as a category of analysis in literature and art, and transferrable skills in academic and creative writing to strengthen your existing interest in modern literature and culture and your background in Arts and Humanities.

Tutor: Dr Sarah Lewis Available in Session One and Two

Tutor: Christopher Holliday Session Two

Study Shakespeare in the city which made him successful.

Classes for this course offer an exciting opportunity to discuss all of this – discovering more about Shakespeare’s plays and culture as we do so. But Shakespeare in London is not simply concerned with the past. Shakespeare has a huge presence in 21st century London – perhaps larger even than in the 16th century city.

With active discussions and debates about the uses of children’s literature, we will focus on modern and contemporary British prose authors, including J.M. Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Roald Dahl and J.K. Rowling, while acknowledging influential 18th and 19th century texts and the new genre of fan fiction. As well as engaging and lively lectures and seminars, you will view original manuscripts in London’s rich archives, visit museums, and investigate how the capital’s sites and spaces have inspired the creation of imaginative worlds.

Theatrical London: contemporary performance in the city Tutor: Dr Sarah Dustagheer Session Two On this course, you’ll have the exciting and unique chance to experience and study London’s vibrant theatre scene, exploring a variety of theatre spaces to examine the city’s theatrical past, present and future. You’ll see the shows, but you will also learn about performance through tours of theatrical venues and visits to cultural sites within London. In the classroom, lectures and seminars will provide an exciting opportunity to discuss and contextualise these performances and trips. Throughout the course, you will be introduced to seminal ideas surrounding actors, audiences and architecture throughout London’s theatre history. But you will also develop your own ideas about, and language for, the critical analysis of theatre. Using a range of texts – from plays, to theoretical writing to newspaper reviews to theatre marketing material – the course begins with an investigation of London’s theatrical past and how it is presented today in the museum, archive and so-called ‘heritage’ theatre. We’ll move on to West End performance, examining its historic roots and its current commercial success. Finally, we will consider the socio-political trends in contemporary theatre, including site-specificity and new playwriting.

Each week will help build your critical vocabulary for discussing the visual language of animated cinema, with lectures and special screenings integrated with lively discussion seminars in which you’ll debate, tackle and reflect upon significant questions relating to your own experiences of animation’s diverse screen worlds. Meanwhile, studying animated cinema in the heart of London allows rare access to a range of resources, including the chance to visit key institutions around the capital and hear guest-speakers from the industry offering valuable behind-the-scenes insights into the craft and creation of an animated film from storyboard to screen.

Jews in Modern London Tutor: Dr Aaron Rosen Session Two There is no single London. In this ever-shifting, multicultural metropolis every religious and ethnic community shapes its own experience of the city, its own London. This course explores the story of Jewish London and how the experiences of Jewish residents – past and present – relate to other minorities in the modern city.

‘King’s location... it is just awesome! The Summer School is situated in the heart of London, so helped us to avoid some of the travel expenses as we were able to walk to so many places; you can also hire bikes which is fun. It was really enjoyable visiting the museums and galleries, especially as admission to most of them is free. I think there is always something interesting to do in London. You just do not get bored in such a dynamic global city. London is probably one of the best places in the world to really feel a member of a truly international community.’ Murad Hamidov Azerbaijan State Economic University

How have Jews negotiated between pressures to assimilate and the fear of losing a cohesive group identity? We will examine this dilemma in the religious, political, and cultural spheres, considering controversies over religious reform, fierce debates over Zionism, and the flowering of Jewish poetry and painting. Since the 11th century, the majority of Jews in the UK have lived in Greater London, making the capital an unparalleled destination for the study of contemporary British Jews and their history. We’ll walk the streets of East London, inspect inscriptions in cemeteries, and study works of art in museums including the Ben Uri Gallery, Tate Britain, and Whitechapel Gallery. Students will gain a valuable understanding of key events in the religious, cultural, and political history of London Jews. A little reading – Select bibliography E.

Corporate Social Responsibility

International Business

Negotiation & Communication in Business

Tutor: Shamira Abdulla Session One

Tutor: Dr Yoanna Moguel Session One

Tutor: Mikael Jeklic Session One

Giving back and reaching out to help others not only impacts the individuals whose lives have been touched but keeps us in touch with reality.

The explosion of international business activities has had a marked impact on our lifestyles, income and on the economic environment in general. Companies are now forced to seek international trade and investment opportunities in distant markets. Doing business overseas is, however, still considered to be a difficult task. Often we hear stories about unsuccessful encounters between business executives from different cultures mainly because they are not able to communicate and negotiate effectively with each other.

If you’re keen to develop your understanding of the strategic, communicative, and psychological issues of negotiation skills, this course could be for you.

As corporate entities, this philosophy teaches us that we too can make a difference. As society gets enriched, business flourishes and the cycle of business activity continues at a higher plane each time. Economies grow and flourish simultaneously and the world becomes a better place to live in. Through lectures, team exercises, presentations and a unique walking tour to truly open the mind to impact change, we’ll examine how social change can be impacted with a strong philosophy of corporate social responsibility (CSR) by exploring the concept, approaches, conceptualisations and practices from around the world. We’ll consider the relationship between and practical issues surrounding Corporate Management and CSR as well as Supply Chain Management. This course will show you how to think differently, how to engage with people on a deeply personal level and above all, how to win their confidence in your product.

Leaders aren’t born, they’re made, and this course offers an introduction to the central aspects of that leadership. Designed to familiarise you with the main concepts and theories, the course will give you the chance to then apply them critically to ‘real world’ situations such as team or public leadership.

Finance is a key area of any modern economy and the efficient allocation of money and financial instruments is essential to maximise growth and increase wealth.

Linking theoretical foundations of leadership studies with practical experience, the intensive programme includes group exercises, case analyses and a ‘surprise challenge’, alongside guest lectures and visits to see leadership in action. As a result, you’ll gain an understanding of the major concepts and approaches to leadership, the role of followers for the leadership process and the role of contingency. You’ll acquire and practice leadership skills through group work, practical tasks and case analysis, and be introduced to the demands and dangers of leading. Select bibliography Ronald A.

The Art of Leadership

We’ll closely examine various approaches within leadership studies, clarifying what leadership is – and what it is not. We will cover a broad range of topics such as the distinction between transformational and transactional leadership, leadership ethics, non-profit leadership and female leadership.

‘I very much enjoyed the experience of teaching this course. It is a very different kind of teaching from that I experience throughout the rest of the academic year, and as a result is extremely rewarding. The content of this course is fantastic and I really enjoy showing a diverse range of students around Shakespeare’s London. The Summer School is well organised, the administration is straight forward, and the staff and students are all a delight to work with.’

Why are the financial sectors of different regions essentially different in spite of seemingly being similar? In which ways do the goals of diverse players in financial markets differ? Studying the international political economy of finance in one of the world’s most important financial centres, this course will explore these and related questions, helping you analyse and understand the role that the financial sector plays in capitalist economies. On this course, you’ll explore how modern finance really works. You’ll gain knowledge of the role that finance plays in modern economies, the variety of actors involved in financial markets, the different types of financial sectors that exist across capitalist economies, and the rationale and evolution of financial regulatory frameworks. We’ll ask what explains the increasing power of financial capital from the 1980s onwards and their effects. We’ll examine how private companies and governments interact in financial markets, and consider the ways finance will evolve in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis.

Psychology and Profiling of Terrorism

Education and Neuroscience

Tutor: Sagit Yehoshua Session One

Tutor: Thomas Müeller and Saloni Krishnan Session Two

Terrorism – a dynamic phenomenon that has dramatically altered in nature and strength in recent years. But with human nature less variable, psychologists believe that understanding motives and rationalisations of groups as well as individuals will lead to find better solutions to cope with the problem.

How relevant is neuroscience for education? The King’s Summer School offers you the chance to examine how research related to the human brain is used in education and how interaction between the neurosciences and educationalists could make real sense.

This course will discuss in detail the history and practice of the method of criminal profiling with a focus on the unique aspect of this method in relation to terrorism.

This course provides a fascinating insight into the history of brain research, including rare glimpses into the brain’s development and functions thanks to neuroimaging techniques.

You’ll be exposed to interesting case studies, enriching your knowledge with the work of psychologists, investigators and criminal or terrorist profilers across the globe. You’ll also analyse the psychology and specific profiles of different terrorist groups, individuals and leaders to facilitate the possibility of predicting their behaviour and future conduct.

We will discuss the incredible educational implications of neuroscientific findings on learning, brain development and developmental disorders or cognitive deficits such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD before exploring ground-breaking research on the mind, brain, and education as well translation issues including the use and misuse of neuroscience in the field of education.

With so much to explore and develop in the relatively new methods of profiling and the psychology of terrorism, this is a fascinating chance to get into the minds and operations of extreme individuals and groups. In fact, you’ll explore not only their conduct and attitudes, but also your own motivations and behaviour.

As a successful participant, you’ll acquire a theoretically and empirically-based understanding of neuroscientific theories, findings and research techniques and their educational relevance. You’ll be able to critically analyse primary visual, material, and written evidence relating to the debate between education and neuroscience. Not only that, you’ll be able to detect ideologies and nonscientific interests in the emerging field of mind, brain, and education.

The Boundaries of Illness

Tutor: Dr Anna Maerker Session One

Tutor: King’s Centre for the Humanities & Health Session Two

Health and disease have shaped individuals and societies throughout history and this course investigates how concepts of health and disease, and peoples responses to illness, have developed since the Renaissance. Addressing core issues of medicine through the ages, it invites students to reflect on changing images of the body, the emergence of the medical profession and its relationship with patients, and the role of medicine in society – from issues of public health in Europe and the colonies, to medicine and war.

For those studying and pursuing careers in medicine, public health, health and social policy and planning, as well as humanities disciplines, this course offers an invaluable insight into medicine from a new perspective – using literature, art, history, film and philosophy to explore concepts of illness, health and disease.

Not only that, you will also have the opportunity to explore a wide range of world-leading medical and scientific libraries and collections, visiting institutions such as the Science Museum, the Florence Nightingale Museum, the Wellcome Collection, and the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. On this course, you’ll study the rich collections of historical images, objects and sites available in London and experience the city from a whole new perspective.

History of Medicine

An intense introduction to the history of medicine and an opportunity to intensify your engagement with medicine in society, this course offers knowledge of key themes in medical history, helping you make connections between medicine and its wider social relations while developing crucial analytical skills.

‘My summer school at King’s has been an inspiring, perspectivebroadening, interesting and fun experience, which has challenged me a lot to get out of my comfort zone.’

Offering a unique opportunity to explore an emerging field as it develops, medical humanities is becoming central to both humanities research and healthcare. That means students who can demonstrate an understanding of the subjective experience of health and illness, and the broader concepts defining health and disease, will achieve a distinct advantage academically and professionally. Introducing students to the medical humanities, this course will allow you to understand medical humanities as a discipline and how it can be used in relation to healthcare, engage with the philosophical concepts behind health and disease, and develop a foundational understanding of the broad philosophical and cultural forces underpinning psychiatry. You’ll gain an important basic knowledge of the broad historical background behind modern medicine through its representations in art, literature and film.

Managing International Conflicts

Tutor: Professor Jack Spence OBE Session One

Tutor: Dr Diana Bozhilova Session One

The last sixty years has been one of the most dynamic periods in world politics – one in which we continue to exist.

Nuclear disarmament, terrorism, organised crime and natural disasters have risen to central stage in international security. They challenge the national security of states and, increasingly, of our societies. At the same time, more and more tasks, from monitoring and peacekeeping to conflict management, are delegated to international organisations.

With valuable insights into world-changing events and themes, this course is particularly useful for those working towards careers in government, journalism, business and academe. You’ll gain an intellectual understanding of the period’s main features, including: the invention and use of atomic weapons and their impact on military strategy; the origins, nature and end of the cold war; the impact of 9/11 on world politics; the emergence of ‘new’ security threats: trans-national terrorism; international crime; enforced migration; climate change and the nature of crisis management before and after 9/11. Working with a highly experienced tutor offering an in-depth interpretation of world politics past and present, you’ll explore how far the world has changed over the last 60 years and examine fascinating literature across all these topics.

This course is designed, week by week, to give a comprehensive overview of international security in introducing the institutions, practice and strategies to manage international conflicts. We’ll consider the main theories, the traditional security agenda and the changing nature of international security, and explore the nature and roles of the UN, NATO and the EU. Finally, we’ll examine specific conflicts in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to give you a robust understanding of the key issues in international security. You’ll use academic concepts and theories to engage critically and constructively with material to reflect on theoretical assumptions surrounding international security and develop the skills to apply these assumptions to analyse current international conflicts. This course will also offer you the confidence to independently collect and categorise information across international cooperation, international organisations or conflict management.

London and the British City – Past and Present

Hostages and Negotiations

Tutor: Jason Luger Session One

Tutor: Dr Diana Bozhilova Session One

British cities, some thousands of years old, are facing a turning point. At once historic, modern and global, they are rapidly changing, with riots and protests in 2011 bringing tensions to the surface.

From the Indian Ocean to the Danube River, this course investigates the history and modern day realities of international development and piracy. We will examine policy areas including decolonisation, foreign aid, governance, poverty reduction, economics, human rights and the environment as well as asking whether long-term solutions can address the needs of developing countries.

The British city, birthplace of industry and modern democracy, the theory of gravity, the prose of Shakespeare and the pipe of Sherlock Holmes, can reveal much about other cities around the world and about ourselves. This course treats British cities as laboratories, unpeeling their layers. Through lectures, workshops and field trips around London and beyond, we will explore the British urban story of invention, reinvention and creativity; literature, images, texture, sights, sounds, and smells. It will challenge students to think outside the box by exposing them to the beautiful and troubled in the British city. Academic texts, literature, film and pop culture will all be teaching tools in a whirlwind tour of urban Britain. Together, we will turn London into our laboratory and venture further afield to Brighton, Chester, Liverpool and Manchester as part of an ideal course for anyone interested in sociology and anthropology to leadership, politics and governance.

Designed as an introduction to international development, this challenging and dynamic course will establish how piracy is underpinned by negative socioeconomic conditions, such as poverty, and if we are observing the upsurge of a phenomenon thought to have declined with the 19th century. We’ll ask whether piracy and poverty illustrate the failure of the global community to promote effective development, or if that same community has fallen captive to the spill-over effects of its short-comings. With day trips to the OECD in Paris and the United Nations International Maritime Organisation, we’ll focus on the economics of piracy and how the piracy value chain affects the objectives of international development. As a student, you’ll not only gain knowledge in international development and the economics of piracy, but you’ll also be able to use some of the main theories explaining links between the two.

Session TWO 22 July – 9 August Natural Hazards and Society Tutors: Faith Taylor and Joel Gill Session One When natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and floods interact with vulnerable human populations and their structures, disaster can devastate communities. Drawing on expertise from physical and social sciences, this course examines how natural hazards are formed, monitored and managed, and the serious impacts they can have. Using modern techniques including field exercises and simulation learning you’ll consider issues of vulnerability, visualisation of information, and natural hazards in the media. Drawing on multiple stakeholders in the heart of London including NGOs, the media, government agencies, and reinsurers, plus a trip to the renowned Natural History Museum, you will have the opportunity to investigate aspects of science communication and hazard management in the real world. Here, you’ll develop a key understanding of the complex and often uncertain physical and human dimensions for a range of natural disasters and the vital role played by effective communication. Whether you are interested in hazards from the perspective of earth sciences, international development, politics, insurance or the media this course will give you a solid foundation on natural hazards and their interaction with society.

Making Defence Policy and National Military Strategy

Global Governance: international organisations in crisis

Tutor: King’s in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Session Two

Tutor: Dr Diana Bozhilova Session Two

Founded in 1831 by the Duke of Wellington, the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) is an independent think tank engaged in cutting edge defence and security research.

Has global governance backfired? Conflict and dislocation, social protest and poverty borne out of profound economic and political blunders have exposed the inability of international organisations to mitigate national and regional crises.

A valuable opportunity for students who look forward to careers in public policy, politics, the media, finance and industry as well as academic careers and other disciplines, this course offers the chance to gain in-depth understanding of defence and the purposes of armed forces, using the United Kingdom as a key illustration of a major expeditionary military power.

An excellent platform for students interested in international relations, law and global governance, this course provides the tools to determine and debate the most pressing issues facing international global governance today.

With the particular challenges of affordability and partnerships that this brings, we will consider nations’ models and compare the strengths and weaknesses of their processes, policies and strategies to give you a critical understanding of the principles of policy development, strategic theory, and the way those principles have developed. We’ll address national constitutional and legal systems and the significance of influence and public diplomacy. We will also explore the contribution of defence and military power to the wider security of a nation and the integration of all the instruments of security, and examine the use of military forces for direct defence of territory, for domestic security, in support of national interest, and for humanitarian reasons.

This course is unique in its comparative study of the history, institutions, policies and theories of governance of the major international organisations today. As a student, you’ll look at the historical origins, contemporary institutional and policy debates, exposing the necessary reforms required of the ASEAN, the EU and the UN.

Global Energy Politics

International Relations: theory & practice

Tutor: Sebastian Herbstreuth Session Two

Tutor: Mark Fliegauf Session Two

Energy poses many of the defining political, economic and environmental questions of our age.

In an increasingly interconnected world, opportunities and problems from the Arab Spring to the European debt crisis and the ‘rise’ of China have become truly international.

On this course, you’ll consider issues such as energy security, the geopolitics of energy, war for natural resources, the political economy of energy, the curse of natural resources in resource rich developing countries and the politics of climate change. Studying real world cases and gaining face-to-face insight from leading experts, you will gain a clear conceptual framework to support their understanding of the energy challenges of the future. Crucially, we will treat energy as a single area of concern in international relations – examining issues like climate change, geo-politics, and energy security as part of the same underlying contemporary system of energy production and consumption. This unique approach not only offers students the bigger picture, but above all, identifies the deep connections between seemingly unrelated political issues, bridging the gap between academic theory and the logic of real-world politics with visits to an energy company and with energy analysts as well as a dynamic two-day simulation of political climate change negotiations.

Through engaging lessons, class visits and a one-day trip to international organisations in Brussels, we will consider challenges like scarce resource allocation, unfair distribution of power and wealth, and an ingrained imbalance between large and small states. We’ll ask fundamental questions including whether we should accept future global politics as a ‘state of anarchy’ or further institutionalise them.

Designed for all those interested in this unique sphere of academic study, students on this course will examine approaches within International Relations, from core concepts like power or sovereignty to the specific theories of international politics, such as realist, liberal institutionalist, and constructivist thinking, as well as taking a close look at global governance and international political economy. We will bridge the gap between theoretical insights and practical problems such as the occurrence of war, the role of the United Nations or international responses to climate change. Not only will you gain a broad knowledge of concepts and approaches to study the ‘international’, but also the skill to use these concepts to critically analyse international issues.

Secrets and Spies: modern espionage and intelligence Tutor: Dr Huw Dylan Session Two From James Bond to Jason Bourne, the spy has been a consistent feature of popular culture for decades. But what is the relation between fact and fiction? Who are the spies; what do they do; and how do they do it? Getting ‘behind the scenes’ of major historic and contemporary events, we will study intelligence in democracies and dictatorships, the impact of technology, the relationship between spies, politicians and the media, and debate what is right or wrong in the spying game. We will examine the public understanding of spying, how the media reflects reality and the spy agencies of some of the major intelligence powers; the USA, Britain and Russia. Then we will delve deeper into the relationship between spies and government, asking who is in charge and why things go wrong. We will examine key recent events like the 9/11 attacks, and whether or not they can be considered ‘intelligence failures’. Finally, we will examine how spy agencies conspired to overthrow governments in the 20th century; what technologies they have developed to spy on friends and enemies; and how we discover these secrets.

The Thames – Introduction to River Science Tutor: Dr Michael Chadwick Session Two Introducing the fascinating multidisciplinary subject of river science; this course not only provides scientific knowledge and understanding, but also develops the practical skills relevant to all aspects of river science using the mighty Thames as its living laboratory. Through a combination of lectures, tutorials, lab and field work, you’ll discover Hydrogeomorphology. You’ll develop an excellent foundational knowledge of the physical aspects of river environments by studying basic channel hydrology, dimensions of catchments and river systems, connectivity between catchments, rivers and their floodplains, and the interdependency of hydrological, geomorphological and ecological processes. Then we’ll move on to Water Quality where you will have the chance to develop your practical skills and a basic understanding of water chemistry with hands-on experience of techniques and technologies for chemical analysis and monitoring of the aquatic environments. Finally, we’ll focus on River Ecology, examining the dynamic relationships between aquatic environments and resident animals and plants. Largely field-based, you will be introduced to algae, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates and fish while gaining a valuable skill set in sampling methods, identification and understanding of the roles these organisms can play in assessing environmental quality.

Contemporary Brazil

Political Theory

Tutor: King’s Brazil Institute Session Two

Tutor: John Wright Session Two

Host to the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2014 World Cup, in a few short years Brazil has become a nation that demands attention from the world. One of the largest countries on earth, with a territory bigger than the continental United States and a population greater than Russia’s, this dynamic nation has experienced enormous demographic, environmental, economic, political, social and cultural change in recent decades.

Is human nature fundamentally egotistical and self-interested? Why does private property exist? Why does anyone have a duty to obey their government? What does an ideal society look like?

Here, we’ll explore Brazilian and Latin American historical events, economic development, political transformations, current understandings of race and gender in Brazil, environmental issues, urbanisation, Brazilian cinema, religion, culture, literature, and music. This course is ideal for those interested in international events, global change, socio-cultural transformation and Latin America in general. You’ll be taught by members of the Brazil Institute and draw on London’s rich relationship with Brazil, including trips to the Brazilian Embassy, meetings with members of the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and guest lectures from leading academics, business leaders, artists and other prominent figures. A little reading – Select bibliography B. A. Fausto, Concise History of Brazil, 1999 R. M. Levine, Father of the Poor?, 1998

Addressing these and other questions through lectures, extensive discussions and a trip to the Houses of Parliament, this highly interactive course will help develop your interpretation, analytical and evaluation skills, in order to explore the fundamental themes behind socio-economic and political views. We will examine central themes from Thomas Hobbes and John Locke on human nature, government, property and the right to revolution before looking at the problem of political obligation and John Rawls’ Theory of Justice. Finally we will evaluate Robert Nozick’s Entitlement Theory of Justice and discuss some of the contemporary literature on global justice. You’ll gain a valuable understanding of the historical continuity and discontinuity of the questions being asked in political theory, see the parallels and the differences between the concerns of thinkers of the past and contemporary theorists. You’ll learn how to argue in a rigorous logical manner with claims supported by relevant evidence - skills useful for everyone from teachers, lawyers and politicians to economists and journalists.

Student profile ‘The title of this course immediately grabbed my attention and interest. Understanding the politics of the past is essential to understanding the politics of the future. I benefited very much from the outside speakers we were able to hear from. In particular, a visitor from Chatham House made an extremely strong impression. Hearing from such an informed scholar of current events in the Middle East provided us with invaluable information which added greatly to our in class debates. Taking this course provided me with the narrative essential to understanding the developments made – among the international society of states – during the postworld war period. This course successfully merged a discussion of transitions made directly after 1945 with the relevant discussion needed to understand current affairs. My experience at King’s was invaluable; it altered my perspective by exposing me to a host of opinions I would have never confronted otherwise.’ Zoe Nutter Lewis & Clark College, USA Change & Continuity: world politics since 1945

Session one 1 – 19 July International Human Rights Law

Criminology and Criminal Justice

Tutor: Melanie Collard Available in Session One and Two

Tutors: Sabrina Gilani and Anastasia Chamberlen Session One

The human rights discourse is powerful and controversial, staking out the limits of state interference in personal life. Human rights laws have played an enormously influential role in protecting the activities of both individuals and groups against infringement by the state, but this protection has been challenged, becoming subject to controversial limitations in recent times.

An introduction to one of the most relevant and controversial topics in modern society – crime and its control, this course adopts a criminological and sociolegal approach to give students the opportunity to reflect on current issues on criminality, criminal and deviant behaviour, social control, policing and punishment.

The ‘problem of crime’ remains an unresolved puzzle with fascinating issues and we’ll use a variety of perspectives to engage with on going, cutting edge debates in criminal justice. We will analyse the criminal justice system through studies of surveillance, policing, and sentencing and engage in the advanced study of key national and international law and policy developments relating to areas such as policing and crime prevention, youth justice, and corporate crime. With engaging discussion on key issues in life and politics on a national and international level, it will provide you with the essentials in understanding how crime and punishment are conceptualised.

You’ll gain valuable insight into the most topical and controversial aspects of human rights law within the broader historical and theoretical contexts, become familiar with the main instruments of international human rights law and learn how to conduct basic legal research in the human rights field. By successfully completing this course, you will become confident in critically analysing whether these interferences or limitations can be justified. A little reading – Select bibliography S.

Introduction to the English Legal System

International Commercial Law

Tutor: Dr Thomas MacManus Available in Session One and Two

Tutor: Stefan Mandelbaum Session One

Taught at the very centre of legal London, this course offers the chance to discover the reasons why the common-law system has had such an impact across the world.

Multinational corporations form an omnipresent and powerful force in today’s world. Increasingly, they are moulding legal and administrative practices in every single state participating in global affairs. Yet, as international actors, they largely evade traditional structures of domestic jurisdiction.

By examining primary and secondary sources, and through film, TV and visits to important London landmarks, we will look at the English legal system, exploring the basics of British law, and using historical context and its surroundings to discover the rich history of the system. With visits to local courts and Inns of court, students will experience the inner workings of the English legal system today, investigating the influences of the common-law system on legal systems around the world, and the future of the English system. You’ll be taught through dynamic and engaging seminars, films and tours, with a short essay and presentation as your final assessment. A little reading – Select bibliography K. Malleson & R. Moules, The Legal System, fourth edition, 2010

Offering a crucial insight into both the underlying structure and recent developments of international commercial law this course is modelled on two key questions: What is the applicable law that governs trans-border commerce, and how can the conduct of private corporations be harmonised, with disputes arising in this global environment settled effectively? Through both theoretical analysis and practical training, students on this course will gain an invaluable understanding of the concepts underlying the evolution of international commerce as well as a practical encounter with the profession of an international lawyer. Uniquely, this course brings together both theoretical understanding of and practical training in rhetorical skills, with many opportunities to engage with international commercial law in practice throughout the city. By the end of the course, students from a diverse range of professional backgrounds and academic disciplines will have acquired an insight into the historical and institutional evolvement of the legal regime governing transnational economic activities.

Internet Law

Introduction to the English Legal System

Tutor: Katerina Maniadaki Session Two

Tutor: Dr Thomas MacManus Available in Session One and Two

At first developed as a knowledge-sharing network, the internet soon turned into a paradigm-changing platform of communication, expression and trade.

Taught at the very centre of legal London, this course offers the chance to discover the reasons why the common-law system has had such an impact across the world.

Contrary to the aspirations of its creators, the regulation of the internet is now a reality. Here, we will address the questions that are of concern to all of us as internet users and help you develop a critical understanding of the issues that affect our everyday lives. Starting with the historical background of internet regulation and the debates surrounding government intervention, we’ll move on to specific issues, such as freedom of expression and defamation, online privacy, social networks, online copyright infringements, cybercrime, net neutrality, online gambling and online search. With lectures and seminars based on student interaction, supported by rich audio-visual material and guest contributors, this course offers a unique opportunity to gain an insight into the challenges posed by the regulation of cyberspace. You will have the chance to explore the implications of the internet for our society and individual rights, including how different countries have addressed these matters.

‘I chose to study this course because I’m interested in the comparison of European legal systems.

Student profile ‘The most interesting part of the course were the visits during the afternoons. We had access to prestigious and famous judicial institutions (Old Bailey, Supreme Court) and had the chance to see some interesting legal sessions. The Summer School gave me the possibility to meet new, incredible people from every corner of the world and to improve my passion for the legal field at the same time.’

The course was helpful as it allows you to gain a thorough understanding of EU law, as well as offering the opportunity to explore aspects in more depth. The seminars ensured active participation of fellow students which allowed you to create spaces for discussion. The most memorable experience of my course was the trip to Brussels because we could examine the very institutions which we had studied in the course. It really was a great experience.’ Marco Mazzola Bocconi University, Italy European Union Law
