We have 2 summer schools on offer at The University of Bristol:
Ø Virtual Summer School: Tuesday 27th – Thursday 29th May 2025
Overview: This Summer School offers many of the benefits of an in-person programme but is accessed through a virtual system. The 3-day event comprises of; academic and social sessions as well as information, advice, and guidance to help students make informed choices about their future options in Higher Education.

Ø Insight Into Bristol Summer School: Tuesday 22 July to Friday 25 July 2025.
Overview: The free summer school offers Year 12 students the opportunity to experience student life in the vibrant city of Bristol. Participants will stay in university accommodation and take part in academic seminars and social activities, supported by current undergraduate students. They will meet student societies and learn more about what university life is really like. This programme combines a mixture of virtual and in-person activities to maximise opportunities.
Eligibility: For students who identify as Asian, Black, or mixed heritage featuring one of these groups, or belong to other global majority backgrounds (meaning students from Arab, Latin-American, Mixed, and Multiple-Ethnic backgrounds). Open to students studying in Year 12 in England or Wales, Year 13 in Northern Ireland, or S5 in Scotland (or equivalent). Students must also attend, and have always attended, a state-funded school or college (non-fee paying) in the UK.
Applications Close: 18:00 Sunday 09 March 2025 – Apply here
We are encouraging students to apply to only one of the two summer schools as each one is tailored slightly differently and with places being limited and competitive, we want to prioritise students' first and only choices for fairness.
Completing one of our summer school's entitles students to a guaranteed contextual offer or interview from the University of Bristol. Contextual offers are typically set two grades below the standard offer level, meaning these opportunities are a fantastic way to improve access to a highly selective Russell Group university.
