Global Summer School (GSS) is a summer programme run by NTU, which welcomes students from around the world to study at NTU. The courses are two to four weeks in duration from 8 July to 9 August 2019. There are a range of courses available across different subjects from Architecture to Sociology.

NTU Global is running a competition to recruit Global Summer School student buddies who will win a place on a two-week summer school course alongside the international students.
