All the information you need to attend PASS 2026.
You're going to the PARTNERS Academic Summer School
PASS 2026 will take place from Sunday 28 June to Friday 3 July 2026
The summer school is delivered in two parts; half online and half on campus:
- in-person days will take place on campus at Newcastle University
- online days will be delivered via Canvas, Newcastle University's virtual learning environment
I really enjoyed the summer school; it helped me feel more confident about the city, the course, and meeting new people.
