It’s that time when your students search for summer programs that tap into their interests and begin the next chapter in their lives of aligning them with their future career goals.

At Boston University Summer Journalism Academy (BUSJ), students not only have an opportunity to have award-winning working journalists, they also have the chance to experience Boston University and the city of Boston.

For 15 years, Boston University College of Communication has offered this program to teach high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities.

Our photojournalism program taught by former Boston Globe photographer, Steve Haines, prepares students, like Taylor Coester  (a BUSJ alum and now a BU student), to work alongside journalists in capturing the best photo for their stories. Parents and students enjoy hearing that no third-party vendors are involved, and they can experience an authentic pre-college experience at a college on their list.

For students living on-campus, they have the opportunity to:

  • Meet with a Boston University’s representative to discuss the college admissions process
  • Explore what it’s like living in a residence hall and studying in a university environment
  • Experience Boston museums, historical sites, and neighborhoods during their free time

Students decide if they would like to attend our program in-person or virtually. Our three-week on-campus session starts June 26. Our two-week virtual sessions begin June 19, July 3, and July 17.

If you have a student who wants a real college experience this summer and wants to pursue a communication degree, encourage them to learn more by visiting www.summerjournalism.org and applying soon, as limited seats are available for our in-person and virtual sessions.

Education Advisers Ltd would like to introduce you to Imperial College’s Global Design Space Challenge, 2023 Summer Course – the most exciting UK summer course and an absolute “must” for aspiring engineering undergraduates.

Please find a prospectus for the Global Space Design Challenge along with an electronic expression of interest form, which can be accessed here GSDC Expression of Interest Form – July 2023

This course is run at Imperial College, the UK’s leading science university and is ideal for the brightest UK and international students (age15-18), who aspire to study science or engineering at the world’s top universities.  It includes an intensive and professional programme of training by expert engineers and academics from Imperial, Oxford and industry-leading space companies. This is followed by an industrial design simulation which exposes students to the joys and challenges of working in a team culminating in an aerospace proposal competition. Students compete in teams to build the best community in outer space.

The course is perfect for students aiming for careers in space science, aeronautical engineering, robotics, or automation. They will experience an exciting, motivational, and competitive space design programme, learning and working with top academics from Imperial and Oxford.

The current UK buzz word in education is “Super-Curricular”. It’s now expected that a high ability student will go above and beyond the curriculum to demonstrate their love of subject and undertake independent study and research. The Global Space Design Challenge does all of that and more.

This 4 day / 5 night fully residential programme runs from 19th-24th July 2023. The cost for UK and EU students is £2195; and for Rest of the World students, the cost is £2695.
