LSE and UCT Hold Joint Two-Week Intensive Program on African Issues

July 1, 2014

The July School program focuses on economics, international relations, and business models in Africa.

The London School of Economics and University of Cape Town are hosting their second annual July School program in South Africa. The program brings together more than 100 graduate students, professionals, and faculty members from 44 countries across the globe to participate in an intensive, two-week mini-program focused on pertinent African business, economics, social, and political issues.

While participants could look forward to learning from world-leading scholars, Professor Craig Calhoun, director at LSE, reminded them that they were also "world-leading students": "The chance to get to know each other, in and out of class, is a lot of what the July School is about – so take full advantage of your fellow students' presence and at the same time learn and build a network.

"This is something we value a lot at the LSE – that is, the extraordinary global university. Students can learn as much from each other as they learn from their teachers, in a different way."
