University of Exeter’s International Summer School program

By -
University of Exeter’s International Summer School programme which includes 2 courses which may be of interest to students considering a career in the health professions and who wish to study abroad during the summer:
Adapting Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT) to Improve Access to Psychological Therapies
The IAPT programme is a mental health programme which Exeter is helping to deliver in partnership with the National Health Service to deliver psychological therapies to those suffering from mental health disorders. The module will enable students to understand these demands, the different ways in which psychological therapies can be delivered as well as critically evaluate service delivery models and their effectiveness.
Preventative Medicine: Exercise and the Environment
Preventive Medicine: Exercise and the Environment offers a detailed exploration into preventive health issues related to physical activity and the environment.  Drawing upon research in these topics at Exeter, students will gain a deeper understanding of the science behind the interaction of physical activity and the environment on health across the lifespan.
These courses will enable students to gain experience in these subjects as well as showing interest and commitment to their chosen profession for their graduate school applications.   The summer school is also an opportunity to study with students from around the world as we attract students from over 30 countries to the programme.
Each course is accredited at 15 credits and 7.5 ECTS, the equivalent to a semester module and is taught by Exeter faculty. Outside of classes students stay on campus and take part in a lively social programme.
Full details of the programme are available online: http://www.exeter.ac.uk/international/summerschool/
The fee for tuition, accommodation plus meals and the social programme ranges from £2,320 and £2,570.  We also have a number of £500 scholarships for students attending either of these programmes (providing of course that they meet our entry requirements).

    Very interesting to hear the variety of thoughts on this topic. It’s important to continually look at how we can all increase our physical activity. Not only is it a crucial part to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but it holds so many benefits for our mental health. Both should be prioritise, so if there’s a way of making this easier or more accessible, such as providing access to outdoor natural environments, then it’s definitely worth looking into.
