Leadership Summer Schools

Learn the art of leadership from expert subject tutors. With a mix of seminars, workshops, and hands-on projects, you’ll improve your understanding of what makes a successful leader and develop impressive practical skills. Some of our courses also include guest lectures from prominent political leaders, diplomats, and economists. They will offer their insights into the challenges of leadership in their fields in the modern world, and advise you on how to break into careers in politics, international relations, and economics.

All of our leadership summer schools focus on encouraging our students to develop a global mindset. We believe that the only way to tackle the challenges of the future is to harness the interconnectedness of the modern world and to collaborate with peers from all over the globe. Our students come from dozens of countries and many participants particularly enjoy the multi-cultural learning environment of our courses.

Our students always rave about the amazing programme of social activities we provide in the evenings. From quizzes to film nights or karaoke, our social programme is the perfect chance to relax after a day’s work and develop lifelong friendships.

On our leadership summer schools, you will study the careers of great leaders from history and in contemporary society. By analysing what made them successful, you will learn the many ways different leaders have approached the challenges of their time and will be able to emulate their best qualities.

All our programmes are designed to help you develop the leadership skills needed to stand out in today’s world. You will gain expertise in collaboration and project management through dynamic group projects, and develop confidence in public speaking by delivering a ‘Time to Shine’ lecture to your peers. Whether you’re working with your fellow students on designing a sustainable development strategy for an emerging economy or visiting an international NGO, enhancing your leadership skills will be front and centre.
