International Summer School, New Delhi
Established in 2013, the International Summer School (ISS), New Delhi is an intensive, six-week academic programme that brings together students from all over the world as they study and interact with one another over the course of a summer in India’s national capital. Past ISS sessions in 2013, 2014 & 2015 have successfully taken place at another reputed Central University in New Delhi, namely the Jamia Millia Islamia. The ISS aims at promoting international goodwill and cultural understanding amongst promising young individuals, developing their potential as future leaders in government, business and civil society; and with India as a study model, it offers undergraduate course modules and experiences that introduce the students to a range of issues and debates that are shaping contemporary developing societies. The six-week programme at the ISS has been divided into two distinct components:
- A four-week academic session where the classes will take place on campus at JNU; and
- A two-week Fieldwork experience which will be held after the academic session and this will include the opportunity to volunteer for social causes.
