Kolkata : CEPT University announced its Summer 2025 courses recently and will be accepting online registrations from interested students from March 19, 2025. The Summer and Winter Courses (SWC) at CEPT University provide students with varied, intensive, and enriching educational experiences that extend beyond the traditional classroom.
CEPT University was an early adopter of the novel Summer and
Winter Schools in India, a concept prevalent in European educational systems.
These biannual terms – Summer and Winter - offer two to four week
intensive courses that provide students with significant interdisciplinary
learning opportunities.
The core objective of the SWC is to foster peer learning, exchange
of ideas and providing a platform for students to take courses of their
interest, beyond their academic stipulations. As a result, CEPT University
encourages students from across all universities and across academic
disciplines to enrol into these programs. To ensure that these courses are
impactful, they are taught by professionals, academicians, artists, and experts
from across India and abroad.
This year, through the Summer 2025 term, CEPT University is
offering a diverse array of courses ranging from studying urban development in
cities such as Paris to understanding urban resilience in Bhutan. Some of the
other unique courses include Decoding Mechanics, Preserving Night-Time Darkness
Through Lighting Design; Imagined Landscapes: A Cinematic Mapping of Paris,
etc.
Students can choose from approximately 50 diverse courses,
including on-campus, online, and travel-based options, both within India and
internationally.
SWC's travel-based courses are highly sought after for their
immersive, experiential learning opportunities, allowing students to explore
diverse cultures and architectural landmarks. This year, students can journey
to Japan to witness the fusion of culture, tradition, and innovation in its
built environment. For those with a creative bent, "Oceanic Tales" in
the Andaman Islands offers a unique blend of underwater filmmaking and insights
into design's role in ecosystem and species conservation.
Emphasising on the impact
of these courses, Prof Chirayu Bhatt, Dy Provost (Academics) said, “CEPT's SWC program is designed to empower students. Through peer
learning, they gain diverse perspectives, and by accumulating credits, they
enhance their academic flexibility. The interdisciplinary nature of our courses
allows students to explore new fields and expand their intellectual horizons,
all while experiencing innovative teaching methods.”
Eligibility: The program is open to all students who have passed 12th
grade or equivalent, as well as professionals, with enrolment depending on
course-specific qualifications.
