Business & Entrepreneurship Summer School in St Andrews

We are excited to announce that one of our most popular academic programmes — Business & Entrepreneurship — will be coming to St Andrews in Summer 2026.

As we won’t be running our Yale campus in 2026, we’re giving students in St Andrews the chance to experience this highly sought-after class, which has been a favourite at ISSOS for years.

The Business & Entrepreneurship programme is designed to give students hands-on experience of building a business from idea to launch. Through interactive workshops, case studies, and practical projects, students will:

• Learn directly from successful entrepreneurs and business leaders
• Develop leadership skills and understand team dynamics
• Gain confidence in presenting and public speaking
• Explore marketing, business planning, finance, and pitching
• Create and present their own business idea during the final week.

Students will also be introduced to values-led business and shown how entrepreneurial thinking can be used to tackle real-world challenges. With 39 hours of expert tuition and the chance to pair this academic with one of our exciting electives, it’s a programme that inspires creativity, confidence, and impact.

This academic always fills fast, and we can’t wait to see the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life in St Andrews.

Applications for Summer 2026 are now open.
