Summer School

Summer School 2026 offers 24 intensive five-day courses, available as on-campus courses and online courses, covering a global range of topics from late classical to contemporary art.

Small teaching groups encourage discussion-based learning and ensure that each student receives the lecturer’s attention.

We combine a high level of scholarly expertise with engaging delivery and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. From 2025, our Short Courses – with the exception of the evening lectures series Showcasing Art History and our Study Tours – have been open to all over the age of 16.  A framework, including a Safeguarding Policy, is in place to provide a safe environment for young people participating in activities at the Courtauld.
