Introduction
Although the main focus of our Summer School is to provide you with deeper knowledge of certain subjects through intensive learning and to help you to improve your academic and English skills, the two weeks’ schedule also allows plenty of time for exploring the Netherlands.
Wittenborg’s Summer School is offered to you as a full package. You will stay in our brand-new studios right next to your study location in Apeldoorn, with your own kitchen and bathroom. Daily breakfast, lunch and refreshments, as well as all study materials and three social activities (welcome drinks, an excursion and a farewell dinner at a restaurant) are also included in the package. Of course, you are free to travel and explore the city and country outside your classes and social activities.
Our Summer School has two programmes, each with different topics. Programme 1 (14 July - 26 July 2024) will be dedicated to Intercultural Communications & Leadership and Programme 2 (28 July - 9 August 2024) will be dedicated to Marketing & Personal Branding.
Various subjects will be covered each day. You will also work in groups and improve skills such as discussion, debating, presenting and so on. Classes take place from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 14:00, with short coffee breaks and a lunch break in between.
Are you a university-level or high-school student with interest in the topics mentioned above? Then join our Summer School 2024 and experience what it feels like to be a Wittenborg student!
