Every year more and more students are choosing to study abroad. In an increasingly competitive global job market, employers value graduates with study abroad experience who have proved that they can succeed and function in a different environment. And it doesn’t have to delay your expected graduation date. With careful planning, you can complete your studies in the same time as you would if you stayed at home for your full degree.

The Biotechnology Summer School is a 3-week residential programme for students entering their senior year in a Biology-related major.
