1. 1. How do I book a place on one of the Summer Schools?

   The study places will be allocated on a first come, first-served basis via the Online Store. If your favoured period is full by the time you log in to make your payment then you will have to sign up for the other period. The Summer School administrator will notify students when the Online Store is available.

5. 5. Can I extend my visit to the country beyond the Summer School dates?

   Unless the Summer School offer includes the option to stay on in the country beyond the study dates given, then you CAN NOT extend your trip. Your flights, insurance, visa and accommodation arranged by the Management School only covers you for the dates given of the Summer School.

   If you were to extend your visit outside the study dates of the Summer School, you would have to pay for any extra costs and arrange for an extended visa, flights and insurance yourself.

   The Management School is not responsible for you visiting the country outside the given dates of the Summer School.
