International Summer School 2026

International students are welcome to join our 2026 Summer School for a minimum of one week and up to four weeks, with flexible arrival and departure every Sunday. With an exciting programme of activities, we look forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable summer experience.

At Ratcliffe College, students are encouraged from the moment they arrive to speak English, swiftly developing their vocabulary and confidence. With this in mind we recruit a sensible balance of students from a range of nationalities so that they are able to easily integrate with one another through activities on offer.
