What students say

This course has run for two years, and was highly successful. We had extremely positive feedback from those who attended ― as the following sample comments indicate:

“I am amazed by your availability and helpfulness throughout the summer school. 4 tutors for 21 students, that is a support-ratio I have never had in my (university) education before. Maybe I should go to more summer schools.” “I'm studying statistics in my university. So I think this lecture is very useful and I want to study hard.” “[Deciding what was most useful for me was a] difficult choice because each session offered a link to the next (admirably cohesive) and all were very useful ― perhaps I'll opt for what I was least comfortable with, statistics.”

Aims and objectives of the course

• The Summer School is a primer in Corpus Linguistics for students of the English language. It is designed to be both accessible and inspiring!

• Attendees are taught by world-class researchers at the Survey of English Usage, UCL.

• Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of English linguistics and grammar.

• It will take place in the English Department of University College London, in the heart of Central London.

Location

The Summer School will take place in Foster Court, University College London.
