We will conduct sessions via the video conferencing software Zoom. Participants therefore must have access to their own computing facilities in the form of a laptop or desktop PC. This should include adequate audio and visual equipment in the form of a webcam (built in or detachable), as well as a reliable internet connection to enable full participation in the online sessions.
Please be advised that all scheduled class times are in BST. However, many of our courses will be able to offer recordings that will be available to those enrolled.
We will ensure that each participant has access to the necessary software to participate in their course, along with other materials, as part of your course fees.
The language of instruction of this summer school is English.
For best learning success, participants should have the background knowledge necessary to follow a course. The Instructors’ specifications of the prior knowledge expected of participants appear at the end of the course descriptions for each session. This will also include any specialised requirements, such as computing knowledge, although basic knowledge of computing is essential. Participants can refresh and enhance their mathematics knowledge in an intensive course, Mathematics for Social Scientists, which is provided free of charge for participants of the Summer School.
Instructors will assume that everyone doing their course has the required background knowledge and reserve the right to exclude a participant who does not have the required background.
Anyone who is uncertain about whether a course is appropriate for their needs or their background should contact the Summer School office for advice.
