Description
USW Summer School (co-funded by Reaching Wider South East Wales) will take place between 20 – 24 July, hosted across multiple locations offering a week of discovery, inspiration and hands on learning across the USW portfolio for students from underrepresented groups.
Benefits
The Summer School will be advantageous to students in completing their UCAS application forms and will help set them apart from other students by demonstrating a commitment to extra-curricular study.
The Summer School will enable students to have an immersive experience of a subject of their interest at University-level and will compliment their Level 3 studies, thereby supporting transition to Year 13 and Level 3 (Year 2).
The Summer School will provide students with invaluable, personalised HE information, advice and guidance including advice on the UCAS process, developing an excellent personal statement, preparing for interviews and researching universities and courses.
As part of the Summer School, students will be able to interact with current USW students via a series of fun activities and ask them questions on everything from student life to student finance.
