[In a voiceover, Dr Edgar says:] Leeds is a great vibrant city, and they will have an opportunity to really explore that and go out in some of the beautiful countryside around here as well. 

[The video shows students working out in a gym, students looking around an art gallery, and a student skipping a stone across a river.] 

[In a voiceover, Dr Edgar says:] There's plenty more to do, besides just studying. We have a huge range of field trips which complement the courses. 

[Samuel Priyadarshan, a LISS student from India, appears on screen. He is standing in a park. As he begins to speak, the video shows people working with equipment in a lab.] 

[Samuel says:] The lab here is really sophisticated. They've got all the equipment.  

[Andrew Dant, a LISS student from the USA, appears on screen.] 

[Andrew says:] Both courses that I'm taking are courses that my university doesn't offer. I expect to learn things that I wouldn't learn back at home. 

[Dr Lock appears on screen.] 

[Dr Lock says:] There's a huge, huge, range of modules available to study on the International Summer School.   

[Belina Naude, a LISS student from South Africa, appears on screen.]
