Please note that the 2026 BISS is currently being finalised and this website will be updated later in the year. The information on this page refers to the 2025 BISS to provide a flavour of our fantastic programme of activity which this year's students participated in.
Summer School students apply to study on one programme for the three-week period. Select the individual academic programme pages for information on course content and entry requirements.
