The LCDS Summer School is a chance to experience life at LCDS, the undergraduate course, take classes and get to know our current students and faculty.
Our Summer School takes place in The Place building in central London. There are practical classes all led by our world-leading facilitators, insights into course modules, time to chat with students, Q&As with course leaders, information about our application process and Visa & IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) guidance.
