Scottish Universities' International Summer School

The Scottish Universities’ International Summer School (SUISS) offers an intense, challenging and diverse programme of study that takes place annually during the months of July and August in Edinburgh, the world’s first [UNESCO City of Literature](http://www.cityofliterature.com). We offer three courses in **Text and Context: British and Irish Literature from 1900 to the Present**, one course in **Creative Writing**, and one course in **Contemporary British and Irish Theatre and Performance**. Our literature courses offer extensive examination of Modernism, Contemporary Literature and Scottish Literature, while our Creative Writing course allows students to develop their personal writing portfolios. The Theatre and Performance course, which explores both theoretical and performative approaches to drama, coincides with the [Edinburgh International Festival](https://www.eif.co.uk) and the [Edinburgh Festival Fringe](https://www.edfringe.com) and is delivered in partnership with the [Scottish Playwrights’ Studio](http://www.playwrightsstudio.co.uk). We are located at the [University of Edinburgh](https://www.ed.ac.uk/literatures-languages-cultures/english-literature/summer-school), and run by a team of hard-working individuals, led by the [Administrator and Co-Directors](http://www.suiss.ed.ac.uk/suiss-team/staff/ "Staff"). This core team, along with our advisory committee, oversees the lecture programme and management of the summer school each year.
