Both summer schools bring together students from all over the world in a truly international environment. The academic excellence of these summer courses is complemented by social and cultural events, as well as field trips, which are not offered during the regular Fall and Spring semesters.
Regarding COVID-19, please notice that:
- Since September 2020, UAM has been operating with face-to-face classes on Campus, despite a second wave of COVID-19 across Europe. Thanks to current protocols, UAM has been running smoothly, without outbreaks or contagions caused by the classes.
- Spain already has a vaccination plan against COVID-19 that is expected to start in January 2021. It is anticipated that by summer the entire population of Spain will be vaccinated, but by May a situation will have been reached that will allow the current restrictions to be relaxed.
Therefore, it is expected that the Summer Schools to be held in a similar way to previous years and with 100% face-to-face classes, but with a few precautions. The most significant difference for students is the expectation for the use of masks to remain mandatory. Please, check the webs for full details on COVID-19, which will be updated, as necessary.
