Life-long learning experience
January 11, 2022by: Djemil Tahir - ChadGBS is far more than a summer school experience. It has been a life-long learning program that offers enormous knowledge and excellent up to date information on sustainable construction. The teaching and organizing crew give their best to provide participants a great experience both theoretical and practical knowledge which include hands-on work with design software and exciting site visits to project locations. The program had survived even the harsh unfortunate Covid measures by creating a hybrid solution between in presence and online distance program in 2021. One great advantage worth mentioning is how GBS Summer University can bridge between young enthusiastic students and professionals with highly experienced educators and professionals that are willing to assist students to enter the professional sphere. It was a great experience for me and I highly recommend it for interested prospect applicants

HIGHLY recommend
February 04, 2022by: Naomi Willows Rough - United KingdomFantastic experience - educational and cultural! Well organised, very interesting/insightful seminars and day trips to see what's happening on the ground, too. Great to be studying with people from different academic/professional backgrounds, but all pursuing a common goal.
