We are encouraging students to apply to only one of the 2 summer schools as each are tailored slightly differently and with places being limited and competitive, we want to prioritise students' first and only choices for fairness.
Completing either of our summer school's entitles students to a guaranteed offer or interview at the contextual level. 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.
