FAQ
Only students from IDEA League partner universities and ASPIRE partner universities can apply for the IDEA League Summer Schools. Application criteria differ per Summer School. Please visit the Summer School’s SiROP pages for more information on the application criteria.
The IDEA League is not able to decide on your university’s behalf how many credits you will be awarded for taking an IDEA League summer school. However, we make clear the investment in terms of time that you will have to make (usually 40 hours) and provide any information required for the university to make those decisions. Some summer schools will also provide optional extra assignments, if desired, which will help to justify the assignment of credits.
Some Summer Schools are open for a very limited number of non-IDEA League students. However, different terms and conditions apply and students from these universities cannot apply through SiROP. In most cases, participation as a non-IDEA League student is accepted only if nominated by the organisers directly. Please visit the website of the specific Summer Schools to see if this option is offered. If the option is not explicitly stated, then unfortunately, only applications from IDEA League and ASPIRE League universities will be considered.
No, BSc students cannot apply for the IDEA League Summer Schools.
