UK Summer Courses & Study Tours 2026
During Summer holiday, many parents would look for summer courses, study tours and overseas learning activities for their children, to make good use of the holiday break. Spending a few weeks in a foreign country is a great way to learn about its culture, people and education environment and an effective way to improve your English! So we’ve handpick nine courses which we think are fantastic options for students of different ages and learning expectations. Under each of them we have indicated course components of lessons and activities, so that parents can easily locate the one with the right balance of class and play!
Key Features:
- All-in-One English Learning, Activities & Excursions Experience: Most of these summer courses and study tours focus on English learning with the most basic courses consisting of 15 hours of English lessons per week. They also come with a series of sports, extracurricular activities and excursions, providing the perfect chance for students to practice their English in real-life situations!
- Work Experience & Professional Pathways: Apart from English lessons, more courses now provide elements of work experience and professional pathways, with some providing work experience in hospitals and architecture firms! Students will be able to understand more about potential university subject choices and career paths through these options. In 2026, these include medicine, veterinary medicine, law, architecture, computer science, STEM, art & design, business, etc.
- Experience Life in UK Boarding Schools: Many of these courses are held in traditional boarding schools, where students can enjoy an action-packed holiday in a safe environment. The choice of campus affects availability of extracurricular activities, excursion destinations and special activities. Please refer to the following introductions as an initial guide and feel free to ask for details (fees, sample timetables, excursion arrangements, etc) from our education consultants.
