Summer School is a flagship programme of UCT's public education-oriented Centre for Open Learning. It offers the wider public, regardless of educational qualifications, a taste of the range of academic expertise available through UCT. In addition, it brings to Cape Town world-class lecturers in a variety of disciplines. It is the only summer school in Africa, drawing people not only from other parts of the continent, but from as far afield as Canada and Switzerland.
