About our Courses:

Classes for our upcoming programs are thought-provoking, interesting and fun.  We expect students to be open minded, engaged and eager to learn about other countries and cultures. In-class instruction is enhanced with an out-of-class experience that includes escorted visits to economic organizations and leading international companies. Our courses are designed to offer students a deep insight into the European  economy, society, political situation and culture.  


​Classes are taught in English on-campus (and while traveling) by a faculty of multi-national and cosmopolitan professors.

Professors in Europe:
  • For our study abroad programs in Europe, we have partnered with two highly respected universities: IQS in Barcelona, Spain and UNYP in Prague. In addition to our traveling teachers, our local faculty of professors come from these institutions and bring a wealth of knowledge and international experience to their teaching. By studying with these professors, students will have the chance to learn from some of Europe's leading educators and immerse themselves in the vibrant cultures of Barcelona and Prague.

Universities in Europe
  • Summit Global Education is pleased to offer study abroad programs in Europe in partnership with two esteemed institutions: IQS in Barcelona, Spain and UNYP in Prague, Czech Republic. These programs provide students with the opportunity to enroll in academic courses at these universities and experience life in Europe firsthand. Upon acceptance into the program, students will be officially enrolled at one of the partner institutions. Upon completion of the program, students will receive their grades and official transcripts directly from the host university, as well as a certificate of completion. These documents will serve as evidence of the student's successful participation in the program and can be used for future academic or professional endeavors.
