Ultimate Summer Courses For Teens
Inspire Curiosity With Wider Learning
Fairies and Fantasy, Falling Inside a Black Hole, Gothic and It’s Cultural Influences…oh my! Wider Learning discusses ideas, theories and phenomena that do not feature on the school curriculum, but contribute to a greater understanding of the world. Let summer be the time for those inquisitive minds (aged 10-18) to discover a new world of online courses and learn about subjects that truly excite them. Sign up for these courses from anywhere around the globe (just need internet access), connect with fellow students and be taught by graduates and undergraduates from top universities in the UK.
THE COURSES:
With such an amazing selection of topics, 10-15 year olds interested in space can do a 3-part course on Falling Inside a Black Hole, or little surgeons can explore Medicine Through The Ages. Here are a few more of our favorites, but we recommend checking out the full list of classes to see what your child might be interested in… that’s what matters most!
* Using and Understanding Formal Logic (Ages 15-18) – useful for critical thinking skills which can be applied to all essay subjects (English Lit, History, Politics, or any subject that requires an argument)
* Global Politics and Post-Conflict Studies (Ages 16-18) – gain an ability to communicate arguments and explanations including correct use of political vocabulary
* Imagined Worlds: Fairies and Fantasy (Ages 10-14) – look at some of the most treasured childhood books and study the fantasy genre
* Voices of the Marginalised: Women’s Writing & Post (Ages 15-18) – open up students’ minds to brilliant and neglected writers of the 20th and 21st centuries
* Post War American Literature (Ages 15-18) – from considering The Great Gatsby to a Streetcar Named Desire, discover if the American Dream was ever truly fulfilled
