Pre University Summer School

 

We've been running a programme for students interested or preparing to go to university since 2016 and this has now increased in size more than four times! We are delighted to look at running our 5th on campus event in summer 2022, following our highly successful online programme during Covid-19 restrictions in 2021. 

 

Our Pre University Summer School looks to bring motivated students from all over the world together for an exciting two week programme which gives each student the opportunity to learn more about university, different subjects, different cultures and themselves. 

 

The main objectives of the programmes are described below: 

• Gain valuable experience and insight into different study options in Higher Education
• Learn from students and academic staff about the skills needed to succeed in HE and post education
• Interact with students from all over the world to form strong friendship bonds and even networking for the future
• Learn more about the application cycle for Higher Education in the UK
• Challenge yourselves to take on a global issue and work in a team to find a potential solution to a real world situation
• Explore new places and new skills with people from all over the world while having fun trying your hand at something
• Most importantly, personal growth by learning from other cultures and perspectives on every day situations and study topics

The absolute key principle to our entire programme is that everyone has fun and leaves the programme feeling a real sense of accomplishment and growth. 

 

We are delighted to be able to offer new subjects explorations on the programme for 2022 with the addition of Engineering and Biosciences as two new areas to gain experience in. Please take a look at the Academic Pathways page for more information on all academic pathways available and how the programme works. 

 

Alongside our academic pathway sessions, we set a global challenge for the students to really push themselves, learn how to work across different disciplines and test themselves against the world's greatest problems. The entire programme is also supported by students currently studying with us in different subjects who are able to give real insight and advice on student life and its benefits and challenges. 

 Please note that the entire programme is subject to change until the start of the application window when it will be confirmed. After this point, aspects of the programme may still change but in the unlikely event that this happens, any applicants will be given 5 working days' notice of the change.
