Housing services

You will be assigned to a room by the Utrecht Summer School staff. Utrecht Summer School generally tries to house students from the same course in the same accommodation. However, students enrolled in different courses might also be housed together in the same building, which gives you the great opportunity to meet international students from other disciplines.

Library services

Students in Utrecht can study in the university libraries. The libraries offers an extensive collection of literature, computer facilities and study areas. Summer School students are not allowed to borrow books from the library but feel free to stay a bit longer and do your readings on the spot.

The Summer School is a cooperation of the Utrecht University, HU University of Applied Sciences and HKU University of the Arts. These institutions of higher education offer high quality, fully accredited summer courses in English on bachelor, master, PhD and Post-Academic level.

Sports facilities

That’s the modern-day translation of the Latin quotation Mens sana in corpore sano (literally ‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’). Sport is something you do for fun and to keep fit. Release stress through physical exercise, push your limits or just enjoy yourself before or after a hard day studying! Stay in shape during your Summer School experience.
