The Sydney Summer School

Welcome to The Sydney Summer and Winter School

The University of Sydney's academic excellence attracts students from around the world to take part in our intensive Summer School offered over three sessions from December to February or in our Winter School in July. Students can accelerate their program, catch up a failed subject, balance their timetable or study subjects outside their current program. Recent high school graduates can enrol in first year subjects.

Summer School:

  • Online applications open in the last week of September

Winter School:

  • Subjects will be listed on the website from early April
