University Residential Courses

Year 12s, this is the season for courses hosted by universities which are a tremendous opportunity to learn more about a subject and also dramatically improve your chances of accessing places next year. Attendance on will make you stand out. I have listed BRIEF details below. If interested, you must check eligibility (sometimes they require you to come from families/schools which have not historically sent many to these institutions, sometimes they require a certain level of grades) and availability on dates, before considering applying:

Science & Humanties @ Cambridge 2-4/4 or 10-12/4 (see PDk for application)

Chemistry & Law Summer Schools @UEA - http://www.uea.ac.uk/giftedandtalented

In addition are the Sutton Trust Summer Schools, which are excellent but do prioritise on students most in "need" -
