Course summary The Global Citizenship Summer School is a seven week programme of study, five of which are spent in residence in London, England and Utrecht, the Netherlands; the course is an innovative programme that provides an ideal opportunity for students to develop global perspectives and intercultural competencies that are an increasingly necessary prerequisite for success in the global market place. Through this programme students have the opportunity to work with a diverse cohort of students on a number of interdisciplinary projects, develop a broader understanding of contemporary issues of global significance, and explore the meanings of citizenship and civic engagement within the context of globalization.
