Main Programme
The main Summer School comprises two courses: a Seminar Course taught by a professor from one of ASE's US partner institutions; and a Core Course taught by British faculty.
Education Summer Programme
Students considering a future involving teaching can choose to enrol for ASE’s Education Summer School, which combines fascinating classwork with a placement in a local primary or secondar school.
Theatre Summer Programme
Students with a passionate interest in theatre and performance can choose to enrol for ASE’s Theatre Summer School, where they learn, rehearse, and perform with British and American professors and practitioners.
Summer courses for undergraduates are divided into two categories:
Core Courses, taught by our British faculty
Seminar Courses, taught by professors from one of ASE's US partner institutions.
Each course is worth four credits,* with transcripts provided by Franklin & Marshall College.
We welcome applications from suitably qualified undergraduates from all US institutions of Higher Education.
The deadline for Summer School applications is Monday, February 15, 2027.
* It is the responsibility of each student to ensure chosen course(s) satisfy the credit requirements of their home campus.
“ASE provided me with the foundation for an amazing experience, but the community of Bath, the staff at ASE, and my fellow students were what made the experience one of the best I have had as a college student.”
