Registration
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2024 METHODS SCHOOL IS NOW CLOSED.
ON-CAMPUS ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS ARE FULL.
The Methods School course fees have been priced competitively and represent excellent value when compared to similar events in the U.S. and Europe (compare!) while offering the same quality of instruction. There are different fees for Methods School participants from non-academic institutions, academic institutions, and students for all our courses.

Undergraduate students must have completed at least two-years of undergraduate studies at their home institution by July 2024. Undergraduates still within their first two years of university studies are not eligible to apply.
- "Academics" refer to postdoctoral fellows, junior/senior lecturers, assistant/associate/full professors, employed in any university.
