30 seconds. Name and email. No payment.List closes 30 September 2026One module carries each week, and the Studio Project runs alongside from day one. Mondays and Tuesdays are lectures on the IDB campus, Wednesdays and Thursdays are excursions and workshops.
ECTS measures workload, not weeks. Twelve ECTS transfers as six US credits. The Studio Project is graded against your own level, so first-year students and working professionals are assessed differently while everyone sits the same course.
Galungan falls on 11 August 2027 and the university closes for the week. It is the biggest day in the Balinese year, and you are on the island for it. That is why the 2027 edition runs five weeks instead of four.
An architecture course in a place where the subject is not history. It is the construction site down the road.
Balinese architecture is not a museum piece here. It is what is being built right now, in a place where a booming tourism industry meets a building tradition that is centuries old, and the tension between the two is the thing you get to design into.
You study at Institut Desain dan Bisnis Bali, but a good part of the teaching happens outside the studio. At temples, in villages, on the sites of resorts built around exactly the questions you are working on. Four weeks of that, and you look at buildings differently for good.
From the groups that came before you. The 2026 studio alone held 22 nationalities and 19 universities.
My experience studying in Bali really can't even be described in words. It's mind-blowing how immersive the programme has been. Everything about the month was so worth it. If you're thinking about joining StudyInBali, don't even think about it anymore, join it. It's literally life-changing.
I came from Morocco, from another culture, and it was super inspiring to learn about Balinese culture and all these architectures in Bali. We come back to Morocco creating the same vision of mixing old culture and new culture, to create harmony in the houses.
I came here 2 years ago and fell in love with the country, and this gives you such a good opportunity to learn more about the culture, the way that they design over here. It's just an amazing experience.
Got the chance to explore Bali and its mesmerizing architecture in the best way possible, with people from more than 21 different countries whom now I can call my friends. Simply the best four weeks of my life.
It's been amazing meeting people from 21 different countries, doing excursions together, workshops together. We had so much fun. Everyone is so welcoming and you feel so at home in a place that you've never been, and that's incredible.
It has truly been such a beautiful experience, and I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people I've met along the way. A special thank you to the teachers and lecturers from IDB for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Being part of this summer school has been such an amazing experience. I deeply appreciate the effort of all organizers and lecturers who gave us not just knowledge, but also motivation and guidance that will stay with us for long.
The summer school brings together a group of students from all over the world, all with different backgrounds. We learned a lot about the difference between Eastern and Western culture. It is great to learn in such a nice environment.
