Taking place on Tuesday 29th July – Friday 1st August 2025, our four-day summer school programme is available for students in Year 11.

This Summer School is an excellent opportunity to help you get ready for Sixth Form or College, meet new people and to enhance your skills.

Are you driven, hard-working, and curious? Do you crave new experiences and love to challenge yourself? Worried about starting Sixth Form or College? This Summer School aims to give you a head start and help you get prepared for the years ahead. 

In this programme you will:

• Build skills to help you succeed as you transition into Sixth Form or College and beyond. Including sessions on study skills, wellbeing and budgeting
• Participate in academic taster sessions including Law, Computer Science, Psychology, History, English and Philosophy, giving you an insight into studying these subjects at university
• Experience a taste of university life, by spending time at our campus in central London
• Get involved with a social activity out and about in London

Our friendly Student Ambassadors (current Northeastern University London students) will be on hand to support you through the programme and to answer any questions about university life.
