Presentation detailing university summer schools for Year 12 students.
I developed this resource with the demographics of my Year 12 cohort in mind specifically, and as such it is not utterly comprehensive. Any summer schools whose deadlines were before the end of February -- when I started to look into this -- are not included; neither are schemes who stipulate that students should attend schools in the locality of the university (except those universities in the West Midlands, where I am based). Similarly, I have left off eligibility criteria relating to the need to have a minimum of five GCSEs grades A* to C as this is a criterion our students have to meet before they join our Sixth Form.
It is also worth noting that the vast majority of these schemes have been developed in response to the government's widening participation initiatives and aim to attract a higher proportion of previously underrepresented demographics to higher education. As such most are strictly open to state school applicants only.
I have a similar presentation for work experience programmes that is also available to download.
Update: more summer schools added 12th June 2016, and a version of the presentation uploaded that contains only those opportunities that are still open for applications.
Please do rate and review this resource -- I appreciate feedback!

Goodness, what an amazingly well organised and comprehensive review ! I hope you will be doing this again - I have a few candidates in mind, who will use this with alacrity.
As a Year 12 student, I'd like to say a huge thank you for this resource! It was brilliantly put together, and as a result, I've got a place on all three of the summer schools I applied for using your lists! <br /> <br /> A question: would you mind me sending a link of this resource to the Head of Sixth Form at my college? I think it'd be a great template/resource for them to use for future years :)<br /> <br /> Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing, this is very useful information for my year 12 groups.
