Online Academic Summer School, SOAS
The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) was the first UK university to offer an online summer school in response to the pandemic. It offers intensive courses, which feature a blend of live tutorials, recorded lectures, group discussions and independent learning along with a range of online resources for students. The courses, suitable for undergraduates, graduates and professionals alike, are on areas like media and gender, sustainable finance and climate change, and international law, with sessions beginning on June 28 and July 19. There are also complementary workshops on media skills, along with online sessions on yoga and mindfulness and Arabic music. “Whether you want to earn credit, expand your existing knowledge or explore a new area of interest, the Academic Summer School will develop your critical thinking, enhance your career skills and challenge you with new perspectives on the global issues of our time,” says John Whitaker, global partnerships manager at the university.
