On-campus residential summer schools

Closing date for applications: Tuesday 31 May 2022

Our on-campus residential summer schools offer you the chance to try out what it’s like studying at university. You will get a chance to explore varied sessions during the day to give you a taste of different courses, social activities in the evening, and overnight stays in our halls of residence – all supported by our undergraduate students at the University of Brighton.

By the end of the week, you’ll have tried out lots of different subjects in your broad area of interest, made new friends and have a much better idea of what it’s like to move to university!

Overview

What to expect in the daytime

You'll take part in a programme of workshops and academic sessions in the subject you’ve chosen. Some you will have considered, and some might be completely new to you. Depending on your chosen subject, you might visit a gallery, build something in our engineering labs, visit the local hospital, test yourself in our sports science labs or take part in a philosophical debate – we promise you won’t get bored!

What to expect in the evenings

In the evenings you’ll get to try out what it’s like living in ‘halls’ – you’ll have your own bedroom, in a flat with 6–8 other students also on the summer school, and a shared living room/kitchen.

There will be social activities each evening, for example, beach volleyball, bowling and BBQs.

How much does it cost?

Nothing! All summer schools are completely free to take part in and include accommodation, meals, and the costs of any trips you take part in.

Who can attend?

Applications from all students will be considered, however, places are limited so we will give priority to students in year 12 who meet our widening participation criteria.

What's the difference between non-residential and residential summer schools?

The main difference is that at non-residential summer schools you'll make your own way to and from campus each day, and at residential summer schools you'll stay on campus for four days, staying overnight in university halls of residence.

Still got questions?

They might be answered on our FAQ page. Or email us at outreach@brighton.ac.uk.

I have learnt to be more confident, I have made friends, and it has helped me decide I definitely want to take psychology.
