As part of the summer school programme students to relax and spend a day on the sandy beaches of Chalkidiki on an daily excursion organised by the International Faculty. The summer schools concluded with a field trip to Vergina, the internationally famous burial site of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Feedback from students illustrated how the summer schools offer an opportunity to get a taste of studying in Thessaloniki and the International Faculty of the University of Sheffield and get a flavour of the Greek summer while studying a subject of their interest. One student that attended the Summer School said: “I mostly enjoyed the panel interview; it was a unique hands-on experience! I had the opportunity to "compete" with other candidates in fully realistic conditions. Another Summer School milestone was the interview preparation with Dr. Nikolaidis, who shared with us his rich personal experience, which motivated me in a big way!” while another added “I enjoyed the lectures, since they covered interesting topics. I also enjoyed meeting new people with different cultures and backgrounds. But the most wonderful experience for me was the visit to Vergina.” The summer schools at the International Faculty proved to be a truly international, educational and cultural experience to all participating students.
