Broadening horizons in Jowett Walk Balliol College Summer School

Broadening horizons

• Age: 16-18 years old
• Dates: July 5-18, July 19-August 1
• Duration: 2 weeks.

This is one of the most popular summer school curriculum - it is a flexible course where students can formulate their educational program. It is formed as follows: students are offered a list of more than 30 educational disciplines, divided into two blocks - morning classes and afternoon seminars. Thus, students will be able to study up to three different areas - both new and those that they already know, but where they want to deepen their knowledge.

Lessons in the morning have a more classical structure and take place in groups of up to 16 people (list A or B). The afternoon seminars are built in an interactive format: in addition to in-depth academic knowledge in subjects, they include master classes in leadership and improving personal skills.

• Archeology and anthropology
