UWC Short Courses
Live the MUWCI experience
Please note that our Summer Programmes/UWC short courses are currently on pause, as the campus infrastructure is undergoing an upgrade.
A summer of experiential learning
An immersive, intensive, exciting series of socially relevant learning experiences
Our Summer Programmes started in 2009 with a mission to give the UWC experience to a broader audience. Students from around the world — Argentina, Colombia, the USA, Korea, and other countries — have attended our Summer Programmes since its inception.
Every year, young students from around the world enrol in our Summer Programmes to tackle important social issues such as social justice, sustainability, identity, and more in a first-hand UWC experience.
We’ve taken the best aspects of a UWC school — living in a diverse community; experiential education with a strong focus on real-world issues; engagement with causes we’re passionate about; and excellent teachers, facilitators, and partner organizations — and then put them into an immersive, intensive, exciting series of socially relevant learning experiences!
