Choose from a variety of one-week courses in Economics, Finance, Data Science, and related fields. All programs are taught in English by renowned academics and leading practitioners, and your classmates will be professionals and researchers from more than 70 countries. It's an ideal setting to expand your network, both in the classroom and while enjoying a paella by the sea!
Summer courses are grouped into programs around a specific topic. You can choose to register for one or more courses in a single program, or you can mix and match courses from the different programs (schedule permitting). Each course is an intensive, one-week seminar that combines theory and practice.
The courses are perfect for busy professionals who wish to sharpen their skills and enhance their knowledge in the latest research within their field, but do not have the time to undertake extensive academic courses.
PhD and other postgraduate students also benefit from the summer school, as it provides an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in theories and theses face-to-face with prominent researchers from around the world.
