The University’s 2018 European暑期, at its postgraduate centres in Paris and Brussels, have reported another successful year.

Launched in 2013, the two-week summer school programme is built on Kent’s specialist knowledge and international reputation as the UK’s European university by offering a number of undergraduate students and external applicants the opportunity to participate in academic sessions and cultural activities in these two world-renowned European capitals.

This year, students at theUniversity’s Brussels School of International Studies (BSIS) explored the theme of ‘Europe and the World’, which drew upon the academic strengths of the school. Within this context, various sub-themes were also covered; these included migration and the refugee response, the European Union’s (EU) relationship with emerging powers, and its response to the global economic crisis. Students participated in a series of guest lectures, seminars and debates delivered by academics, policy-makers, diplomats and European civil servants.

Students spent two weeks in Paris in an interdisciplinary environment, attending seminars given by expert academics from Kent and visiting important sites and museums related to the programme. These included the Pompidou Centre, the Picasso Museum and the Jardin des Plantes.

大学夏季学校协调员索菲·潘彼托，今年描述为“与签约前的学生最佳约会之一”。在许多方面，她说的是，“今年的学校总体上的学校已经为学生提供了不仅提高了跨文化和分析技能，而且还为他们提供了从一系列不同的观点来看欧洲及其在世界上的作用。展望未来，我们希望在2019年罗马中心举办暑期学校，这将借鉴永恒城市的艺术与历史研究的专业知识。

我们谨此感谢学校的慷慨支持者，包括学生项目为他们对奖学金的慷慨贡献。
