University of Liverpool- International Summer School

As is tradition when an ISS programme comes to an end, we're taking a short break to rest and recharge our batteries ready to start again for 2023.

To all of our 2022 ISS Graduates, once again a massive congratulations and the best of luck with all your future endeavours.

If you're interested in joining the ISS next year, or if you work at a university who wishes to send students, please reach out as we'd love to talk to you!

We had a long talk with ourselves and we can finally say it out loud: the 2022 International Summer School has come to an end!

Friday was an emotional day, saying goodbye to all of you, our final 2022 cohorts. It has been a pleasure watching you all discover what our city and University of Liverpool has to offer, on campus and online. You are all true Scousers now.

We wish you all the best of luck in the future, and don't forget to always .

You're definitely confused, OF COURSE the ISS isn't over yet. Nooo, ignore what everyone else is saying.

Just have a look at the pictures from our trip on the Mersey Ferry. It's all still going on (please don't make us admit it.)

We're too hot to post a snappy caption with this, so enjoy some pictures from our tip to Crosby Beach and drink some water.

Week 5 is at its end which means two things: one, we have only one week left of the 2022 ISS and two, it's a PHOTO RECAP.

The sun is out, we've got the drinks on ice and it's time to join the weekend. That's how you !

Thank you to Daytripper another incredible trip for our Weeks 4-6 students. This time: the Lake District!

Tell you what, the sun is making us look great at the moment!

It's time for some new vibes, fresh perspectives and new discoveries, what better time than now!?

The first week of our Weeks 4-6 programme is nearly at an end, so here's another small photo recap!

Here we are then, already halfway through this year's International Summer School! We've said hello to our 4-6 students, goodbye to our 1-3 students and seen smiles and tears in the process. It's been emotional!

He's a *small* selection of snaps from our Weeks 1-3 Certificate Event on Friday.

We're almost at the half way point of this year's ISS! Tomorrow, we say goodbye to our Weeks 1-3 students and say hello to our new Weeks 4-6 cohort. We're so excited to meet everyone.

In the meantime though, we have been *very* busy, hitting the waves, working hard and a pilgrimage to Anfield!

We are honoured to be able to do our part to support this incredible initiative.

It has been a pleasure working with and getting to know the students and staff from Sumy State University so far, both online and on-campus, and we look forward to welcoming even more students to the University of Liverpool this summer and beyond.

We are pleased to announce that we have been officially twinned with Sumy State University, Ukraine.

We joined 23 other UK universities at an event today to sign up to the new partnership scheme which will help to provide support to Ukrainian Universities. We hope to help them to not only survive the war, but emerge stronger and play an important role in post-war reconstruction.

Together with Sumy State University we have already embarked on a range of initiatives to help respond to their current needs, including: providing free places at our International Summer School (in-person and online); providing accommodation and travel support; providing access to online resources; and, providing support for academics.

While short-term assistance is vital, we are seeking to build lasting ties of cooperation and cultural exchange that will outlast the war and contribute to the rebuilding of the Ukrainian education system when the war is over.

For our big Weeks 1-3 trip, our friends at Daytripper took us on an amazing trip to Penrhyn Castle and Bets y Coed in Wales.

Stunning architecture and sunny weather, a very potent mix. Only down the road too*

*okay, 3 hours there and back...

I don't know how everyone still has the energy, our first week was crazy!

We had a blast with our friends at Free State Kitchen last Wednesday for our ISS Welcome Meal. Delicious food, *strong* beverages and good company.

You can't beat that.

Well, we have had an INCREDIBLY BUSY Week 1. There is so, so much for us to share with you, but there aren't enough hours in the working week!

Stay tuned Monday for more ISS-related shenanigans, we promise we'll be raring to go. Three coffees should do it, right?

The 2022 International Summer School is well underway! We've got students from Canada, India, Australia, Italy, Ukraine, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany and more both on-campus and online.

We've already welcomed our first cohort this week, had inductions, started classes, hosted a campus AND city tour, and today we have our first online event and ISS Welcome Meal!

Phew, did we miss anything?!

It's finally here! We are officially one week from the start of this year's International Summer School!

Imagine all the fun we're going to have (see what we did there!)
What is the first thing you want to do when you get here?

Did anybody watch in the Champions League final on Saturday? Soon our ISS students will be able to get the LFC experience in person!

So, here it is, the final day to apply for this year's International Summer School.

Day One is only 2.5 weeks away, and we can't wait to meet everyone on campus and online. We're looking forward to a very special summer.

For now though, you have one more chance to join us this year. Online applications close today. What are you making of your summer?

Where's your summer going to take you?

We're proud to be able to help University of Liverpool meets its environmental goals with 4 sustainability-focused modules available on the ISS, including one online to fit with its environmental nature.

Our planet is the only one we've got, and more than ever we need to consider our impact and how we can help.

Today is 🌍

At Liverpool we're committed to protecting our planet. We're working to achieve net zero carbon by 2035, to reduce our waste by 50% by 2025, and for every student to undertake a sustainability related module or activity.

We may bang on a lot about the summer sun in Liverpool, but we know not everyone is able to join us on-campus this year. That's why we are hosting our successful 2021 online programme again this summer.

Not only do we have two cutting-edge 15 credit modules available to study at a time that suits all time zones, we have also developed a cultural social programme that helps you get the true Liverpool experience from the comfort of your own home.

Clear skies and sun at the Pier Head, is there anything better?
Have a good weekend everyone, hope the sun shines for you!

If you study with us on campus this summer, you will be living at Crown Place, one of the University's main accommodations, located 5 minutes from classes and 10 minutes from the city centre.

Yes, it will be easy to just roll out of bed in the morning (don't tell anyone we said...)

So what happens after you complete your ISS course? Well, we're glad you asked.

As an alumni of the University of Liverpool, you will get access to networks with thousands of other graduates, continued online library access and, more importantly, be able to get significant discounts on postgraduate study.

So if you wanted to stay, well, there's a way!

As today is ♀️, we wanted to celebrate the amazing women who make the International Summer School what it is.

From all our many incredible academics and colleagues throughout the University, through to our admin team and, of course, Joan Squires the ISS Manager, the ISS would not exist if not for the strength, determination and hard work they bring every single day.

Let's also not forget all of our students past, present and future, so driven and open to new experiences. It is a true pleasure working with you all.

Today is the 1st day of Spring here in the UK. You know what that means? Summer's right around the corner!

Our Early Bird Deadline has now passed, but we're still open for applications up until the 27th May!

Summer sun in Liverpool, it just makes sense.
