The SchoolThe Playfair Library Reception at SUISS The Scottish Universities' International Summer School (SUISS) was founded as a non-profit organisation by Professor David Daiches in 1947 in the spirit of the Edinburgh International Festival. The School brings together students and academics who, irrespective of their national, religious, or cultural difference, share a love of literature. Each summer, we run courses in British and Irish literature and culture from 1900 to the Present, as well as a Creative Writing programme. We welcome undergraduates, postgraduates, teachers and lecturers from all over the world: in 2012, our students came from 32 different countries. The School presents a wonderful opportunity to visit Scotland and combines excellent educational facilities with the incomparable surroundings of Scotland's capital city. SUISS runs for a total of six weeks. Students may choose to come for the full programme, or attend either the first, the second, or the third two-week term, or a combination of the modules for a continuous programme of study throughout the six weeks.
