ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳

All ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-PKU Summer School courses are assessed and graded, and a transcript and certificate are provided to all participants who successfully complete their course.

All courses feature a final examination, which is two hours in length and held on the final day of the programme. Please note that these examinations cannot be rescheduled.

The ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-PKU Summer School programme combines the strengths of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ and PKU in the social sciences. Each course is taught by a specialist in their field who holds a position at one of these world class institutions.

In addition, courses normally require a second element of assessment such as a mid-term paper or group project.

Full details of the assessment criteria, marking schemes and deadlines will be provided at the start of the programme.

Participants who do not complete all elements of assessment, but attend at least 80 per cent of the taught sessions, are eligible to receive a statement of attendance.

The quality of the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-PKU Summer School courses is given the highest priority. However, no formal credit is awarded by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ or PKU for the programme. It is hoped that the certificate, transcript and course syllabus provided to successful participants will enable them to receive credit from some universities, though it is strongly recommended that anyone considering this should speak to their home university as early as possible.

Institutions all over the world grant credit for Summer School courses. While ultimately it is up to your home institution as to how much credit is awarded, generally our courses are awarded 3 credits in the US system and 7.5 ECTS in the European system. For details, speak to your Study Abroad advisor.

The ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-PKU Summer School office is very pleased to provide any further information which may be helpful to students or their institutions.
