Manipal International Summer School 2025 is a novel initiative of MAHE that aims to bring together international students from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures and provide them with an experience of learning both inside and outside the classrooms. The courses are designed for two weeks of intensive learning every morning involving interactions with experts in the field of chosen departments.

Inside the classroom, students will interact, network and debate on issues of varied nature based on the course selected – science, geopolitics, management and humanities. Beyond the classrooms, every afternoon, students will get a chance to dive into the world of local culture and regional diversity through a series of well-curated cultural immersion activities. There would be guided trips to places of historical importance and sites of cultural heritage. The organized cultural immersion program will take the students to a world of distinctive Manipal. Experiencing rain, sights, cultures, traditions, art, and living that is unique to the region would make the Summer School truly an experience of a lifetime.

Join our summer school courses to learn the nuances of the much-hyped Indian adage that

Soaking in rain during summer does not happen everywhere…and learning through
the rain during summer happens especially at Manipal!

Manipal, a little university town located on the rocky hinterland of the Malabar Coast in south-west India, is a microcosm of India. From its location on a plateau, it commands a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghats on the east. It rains for real all the while from June to August and Manipal invites students across the globe to experience the learning as it rains at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) through a host of Summer courses ranging from wilderness medicine, ecology of the Western Ghats, essence of Yoga, basics of Ayurveda, business landscapes of India, temple architecture, entrepreneurship in the region, international relations, Gandhian philosophy, ethics in Indian epics, to the living ways of the regional cultures and more.

If the word ‘diversity’ needs a synonym among the list of countries – ‘India’ may
top the list. In India, one would experience ‘diversity’ in every conceivable field- language, learning, religion, climate, cuisine, cultures, customs, colour and living ways. Manipal International Summer School (MISS) 2025 is the best opportunity to have a peek into this immense sea of diversity. Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, with a legacy of 70+ years of educational engagement, it is a site of learning for more than twenty-five thousand students from different states of India and different parts of the world. It is a name to reckon with in the field of higher education in India. Students of varied background and nationalities live, learn and play in the sprawling University town, nestled on a plateau in the southern coast of India. It has about 2500 faculty and almost 10000 other support and service staff, who form the base of various professional institutions in health sciences, engineering, management, communication and humanities.
