Nankai University Summer School

About the Program

Nankai University offers students unique 4-week course options during the summer that are focused on experiential learning.

One featured program is the Anthropological Field Methods, which offers a unique opportunity for students to be introduced to basic techniques in cultural anthropology and skills of collecting first-hand field data using anthropological fieldwork methods. Students will study topics such as the history of anthropological research methods as well as the ethical issues of doing fieldwork.

Final program details will be published by the partner institution that manages this program and are generally updated on their program webpage. However, you must apply through Go Global to be considered for this program and ensure you follow the appropriate transfer credit process.

Tuition and Fees

There are a limited number of exchange spaces available, which will be assessed on a competitive basis. Under exchange, students pay UBC tuition for the number of credits they enroll in for this program. Before attending the program, you will be asked to disclose how many credits you are taking in the summer program so that you can be assessed the appropriate tuition. If you enroll in more credits than you claim then you will be assessed for the additional tuition.

If not selected to use an exchange space, students will pay tuition directly to the partner institution.

In both cases, the partner institution may charge other program fees such as application fees, housing costs, field trips, cultural activities, or other costs associated with hosting this program. Please check the partner program information for details of program costs.
