The summer school in Canterbury was a very meaningful experience for me. It was the occasion to meet some really intelligent people from all over Europe and share some incredibly interesting discussions. I am very thankful for this time, which has helped me to develop my own views on key issues facing the EU. It was a true privilege to be involved with, working alongside so many wonderful, talented and capable people who really inspire!

This course is about getting to know more about the hot topic of Federalism but for me it was really about talking, listening, debating, learning, building arguments, challenging assumptions, having fun and building friendships with people from a wide variety of countries who have different backgrounds, cultures and interests but who are all interested in learning. It was a great experience and I would totally do it again!

Fantastic! A harmony of theory and case studies on Federalism and Europe. Never forget about the study tour and the pub quiz.

In my view this is not just a school for ambitious political scientists. While it is that, it is an "event" which will positively impact on your personal life decisions and the role you play in the polity. Surrounded by first class international academics and amazing students you will have the time of your life and be radically changed by the experience. Can you really afford to miss this opportunity?

Why choose Canterbury Christ Church University summer school on Federalism, Multinationalism and the Future of Europe? At the time of shaping the future professional life it is of great importance to have it in a first class educational institution such as Canterbury Christ Church University. The flow of information provided by excellent lectures; theoretical framework, case studies and a simulation game on Federalism is what you gain by participating the summer school and all that in the heart of the old and cosy city of Canterbury, England. It is more than a good reason to apply for the course. While searching for a theme based course, CIFE Summer School on Federalism was my first choice, taking part in the program gave me an opportunity to add value to my degree, so, I'm glad I have experienced this.

The summer school in Canterbury (CCCU) was one of the best summer schools I have been to. Although it was only one week I have learned a lot about federalism and political science. Besides the various lectures with great lecturers we also had a social program with amazing people from different countries and had a lot of fun. I would recommend this to anyone, who is interested in political science.

It was a wonderful experience attending the 2015's summer school by CCCU and CIFE in Canterbury. The insight on federalism and ideas on the contemporary issues on it were the real worth from the event. Great professors, nice friends and useful curricula made it a valued workshop. I really had treasured experience and knowledge of it.

The course on federalism is a very thorough compendium of federal systems, history of federalism and of political systems in general. There is a variety of great scholars, who deliver interesting lectures in a clear, comprehensive manner. The summer school is a fine way of spending holidays, while being able to learn some vital stuff as well. In addition to this, Canterbury and Kent allow you to explore the history of the region, which is amazing. But all in all, this course is about wonderful company of young curious students, led by the funniest and wisest stand-up lecturer of all time - Soeren Keil.

This summer school was a wonderful experience! In one week, I learned so much about Federalism through passionate teachers. I enjoyed meeting other students and Canterbury is a charming city. It was the best summer school I have attended. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Federalism and Europe.

The Summer School at the Canterbery Christ Church University was a great experience for clarifying terms, learning new aspects of federalism and exchanging ideas with academics from around Europe and participants from around the world. Absolutely recommendable!
