During six weeks of the summer, SUISS offers two programmes of study: Text and Context and Creative Writing. Students may choose to attend a continuous programme of study or to attend a combination of courses.
The Text and Context programme provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary courses that examine literature from Britain and Ireland in the context of the key social and cultural developments during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The dynamic and diverse characteristics of more than a hundred years of English, Irish, and Scottish texts are studied in conjunction with recent developments in literary theory.
The Creative Writing programme is one of the most exciting and diverse programmes available in Britain. The four-week course offers developing writers a supportive environment in which to further their writing skills in fiction, poetry, and drama. Students have a unique opportunity to develop their own critical analysis by attending Modernism and Scottish Literature lectures, as well as author-led masterclasses.

Application procedure is very simple.There are several scholarships covering SUISS fees, available for English Studies students: Satire Scholarship for Scottish Literature (meant for PhD students writing PhDs on any aspect of Scottish Literature), David Daiches Scholarship (for undergrad. and grad. English and Irish Studies students), and Edwin Morgan Translation Scholarship (for professional translators).
Application deadline is April 25.
