King's College London opens its first international Summer School in Delhi

Updated on: Saturday, June 08, 2013

One of Britain's leading universities, King's College London, has opened its first international Summer School in Delhi.

The classes will be held at Miranda House College, Delhi University, and cover courses such as international relations, international political economy and e-business.

"A Summer School is a fantastic way to enrich your portfolio of skills and to get a head start in today's globalised and fast-moving world.

We are grateful to Miranda House College for hosting our courses and for the hard work that they have put in to make this happen," Tayyeb Shah, director of international strategy at King's College London, said today.

Scholarships will be available on each course of the Delhi Summer School for the best and brightest students to study at King's College London Summer School in July and August.

King's will offer a scholarship for a member of staff from the host college to visit London and interact with King's staff working on summer programmes.

Dr Diana Bozhilova, who is teaching the international relations course, said, "India is one of the most fitting places in the world to teach international relations – a topic which deals with issues directly relevant to the present day. India, being the world's largest democracy, is a country where the study of international relations can bring empowerment to the state through the integration of its young people in the system of global governance."

King's College is working with local partner Think Education to deliver the programme of courses as part of the university's India 2013 programme launched in Mumbai earlier this year.

The Delhi Summer School builds on its wider India connections, including the London-based King's India Institute– an international centre for global engagement with contemporary India.

It also has an academic based in Delhi whose research focuses on the international politics of South Asia and Indian defence and security policy.
