How to apply to the University Programme

Admissions for the 2024 University Programme are now open! Applications may be submitted via the Summer School's online application platform.

Application timeline and deadlines

The University Programme has rolling admissions. The admission jury meets regularly, and candidates may expect to receive a response approximately three weeks after submitting a complete application.

Courses are open to admitted students on a first-come, first-served basis and will be closed when they are full. Candidates are therefore encouraged to apply in advance to ensure availability in their first-choice class, if they are admitted. Please note that several courses offered in Summer 2023 were closed after reaching maximum enrolment and not all admitted candidates were able to choose their first choice of course.

The deadlines to submit an application for the 2024 University Programme are as follows:

  • June session: April 3rd, 2024
  • July session: April 17th, 2024
  • June & July sessions: April 3rd, 2024

  • Language level verification for candidates who are not native English speakers and/or who need to demonstrate their French level for the French language track. Find a list of accepted language level verifications on the Eligibility page.
  • Explanation of motivation: This is an opportunity for you to explain your goals for your course of study at the Summer School. The text space is limited to 500 words or less. We strongly encourage candidates to prepare their response in advance to give due thought to this critical component of your application, and so as to streamline your application process. Motivation letters for the English-language social sciences courses should be written in English. Motivation letters for the French language track may be written in English or French.
