IARU Global Summer Program 2017

Applications for the IARU (International Alliance of Research Universities) Global Summer Program are currently open to students through the ANU Global Programs system. Applications close on the 17th of March.

The Global Summer Prorgram (GSP)  is a collection of intensive courses run during the ANU Winter break by an alliance of the best research universities in the world. These fee-paying courses are aimed at bringing the best students from IARU universities together to explore and discuss challenges that most often require multi-disciplinary approaches. ANU funding is available for ANU students attending GSP courses overseas, with the university this year covering about a third of the cost of each course (details and exact amounts can be found here).

More information about the program can be found on the IARU website.

Please note that credit for GSP courses at IARU partner universities is not a requirement; however, if you would like to be considered for credit, you are encouraged to apply for credit status upon your return to ANU. It is up to the discretion of the academic college as to whether and how much credit is awarded for any course. 

If you have any questions about the program, please contact gsp.abroad.iaru@anu.edu.au directly for more information. There will be an information session run early in semester 1, more details shall become available on the ANU Global Programs Facebook page.
