International Academic Programs
Puma Summer is an exclusive academic opportunity designed for students and alumni of UNAM and UNAM-affiliated schools (alumna/o/e o exalumna/o/e de la UNAM o de escuelas incorporadas a la UNAM). Through our strategic collaboration with King’s College London, participants are immersed in a vibrant intercultural environment where innovation, global dialogue and academic excellence converge.
Throughout the programme, students will not only take part in rigorous university-level modules, with formal assessment and official academic credit, but will also engage in intercultural activities, academic excursions, and community-building events that enrich their international experience.
This is more than a summer course: it is an invitation to expand perspectives, accelerate academic growth, and become part of a global network of future leaders.
All Puma Summer modules delivered by King’s College London are formally assessed and must be successfully completed to pass the course. Each module comprises 150 study hours, including 45 hours of synchronous and asynchronous teaching, independent study, and group work, examined to full university standards.
Below are the official assessment requirements per module.
