Summer Schools

Every summer since 1995 I have run a week-long, residential psychology summer school with Jonathan Smith, Lecturer in Psychology at Birkbeck. Originally this began as part of Birkbeck's Faculty of Continuing Education summer school programme, but due to the popularity of our sessions and student demand, it has long since continued as an independent programme.

The residential week is held at Glenfall House, which is set in beautiful gardens, surrounded by the stunning Gloucestershire countryside. Each year we choose a completely different subject and we explore a range of relevant theories and models through trainer input, group discussion and practical work.

The psychology summer school is a wonderful opportunity to learn about unusual aspects of psychology, always with a practical focus and an emphasis on how the ideas relate to our day-to-day lives. The weeks have proved very popular indeed, and attract a wide range of people from all walks of life.
