The Summer School is open to postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students from Commonwealth universities. Each year, ACU-funded bursaries are available for approximately 50% of participants from member universities who have not previously had the opportunity to travel overseas. Taking part in an international summer school is an excellent way for students to learn new skills, increase their intercultural understanding, and build diverse new networks.
