The option to take the IHR London Summer School as a credit-bearing University of London module.

Students registering for the summer school may (for an additional fee) choose to take it as a credit-bearing module.

  • With the help of the staff they will be guided (in the month following the Summer School) to create a 5,000-word essay on a theme or topic brought forward in the School.
     
  • Once marked, the Summer School essay will constitute a full University of London 20-credit Master's-level module.
     
  • If the student subsequently registers for the IHR's MA in History, Place & Community these 20 credits will count towards  the complete degree, post-graduate diploma or post-graduate certificate.
     
  • Participation at the Summer School is not just an opportunity to meet the staff and learn more about the Institute, but can also be the start of a new postgraduate qualification!
     
  • The credits accrued can also be used towards other SAS Master's-level degrees and (under the Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme) for Master's-level qualifications at other UK universities
