The annual ACU Summer School event is a forum for students from every corner of the Commonwealth to discuss multidisciplinary issues of global importance.
Established in 2011, a key element of the School is the aim to mix local and regional students with their peers who may have not ever had the opportunity to leave their own regions.
Each year, we partner with a different ACU member university to co-host the event on a different theme.
ACU Summer School is a transformative opportunity which connects students across the Commonwealth. Participants can expect:
Students in the final year of their undergraduate degree who expect to move to postgraduate study, or those already studying for a postgraduate degree (full or part time) are eligible to apply to attend. Qualifying students from ACU member institutions will be eligible to apply for bursaries.
Applications for the ACU Summer School 2022 closed on 1 March 2022.
Applications for the ACU Summer School 2023 will open in December 2022.
