Summer courses Utrecht
The best summer experience of your life! Utrecht University has been organising the Utrecht Summer School since 1986 and has grown into the largest provider of summer courses in the Netherlands. Every year, the Utrecht Summer School welcomes more than 3,500 students from more than 120 countries.
In collaboration with Utrecht University, this year Babel will offer more than 30 summer courses in English and Dutch. Boost your language skills this summer, discover Utrecht and expand your world. You will not only work on your English or Dutch but will also have the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. Not only during the daily language lessons, but also during the activities that we organise. Read here, for example, about how Pierpaolo experienced his summer in Utrecht.
Utrecht Summer Courses: practical information
The Summer Courses take place in July and August. The length of these courses varies between one and six weeks. In the tables below you will find information about the courses we offer and their starting dates. You can register for the language course of your choice via the Utrecht Summer School website.
We are working on the assumption that the courses will be able to take place on location at Babel, in the heart of Utrecht centre. If this is not possible, we will move the courses to our virtual classroom. On this page, you can find more information about learning online and you can view a virtual classroom demo.
