Join TED Summer School

Admission to the TED Summer School is selective. We’re looking for curious, motivated students who are eager to grow as communicators and ready to develop their ideas and their voice.

The enrolment process

TED Summer School is designed for motivated students who are ready to challenge themselves and develop their communication, public speaking, and leadership skills in a focused yet supportive environment.

Places are limited to ensure small-group learning, so we encourage families to enrol early to secure their preferred session and location.
01
Complete the online form

Begin by completing the online enrolment form together with your parent or legal guardian. You’ll be asked for basic contact information, as well as your preferred programme location, format, and dates.

02
Share your motivation

To help us understand your motivation, please answer the following question:
“Why do you want to build your communication and public speaking skills?”
Provide a short written answer (200-250 words)

03
Secure your place

To secure your enrolment, a £1495 deposit is required at checkout. This deposit will be applied toward the total programme fee. We ask parents or legal guardians to review the application before payment to ensure full awareness and consent.

04
Get your enrolment confirmation

Our team will review your enrolment details and confirm your place within 2–3 working days.
In the event that there are no places available, we will offer an alternative date or location where possible, or issue a full refund of your deposit.

05
Get ready

Once your place in the programme is confirmed, you will receive a welcome pack with practical information, preparation guidance, and next steps to help you make the most of your experience
