Applications for ACU Summer School 2021 are now open. Students at ACU member universities are invited to join us on 2-13 August for a two-week virtual event exploring the theme ‘Urban disasters: Vulnerability and resilience in a pandemic’. The ACU Summer School is a transformative opportunity which connects students across the Commonwealth. Participants can expect:

Students often tell us that they find participating in the Summer School to be a life-changing event. Following the 2020 virtual Summer School, we asked students about their experiences:

• 87% agreed that the experience helped improve their global network within their field of study.
