Year 10 and 11 Summer School

Booking Deadline:

31 March 2023

Summer schools are a fantastic opportunity for young people to visit the University of Leicester campus and halls of residence, and experience what it is like to study at university. It will be a packed schedule filled with various activities to showcase the University, including:

- Spending two nights in the University of Leicester halls of residence
- Taking part in taster lectures and seminars
- Getting involved in social and leisure activities

Importantly, our summer schools are free for students to attend. This includes the cost of travel to/from the University of Leicester, your accommodation, food, and social activities.

This year we have two strands to our summer school:

Business
You will attend a variety of engaging academic taster sessions and take part in hands-on activities in the areas of Economics, Business and Management and Accounting and Finance. You will also use our state-of-the-art Bloomberg terminals in the Trading Room to analyse real time market data. There will also be an opportunity to meet our current students and find out about what it is like being a student at the University while exploring both our business and main campus. In-between academic sessions you will be working in a group to design a business start-up using what you have learnt from the taster sessions.

Medicine and Healthcare
It’s not just a doctor’s job to help patients, it takes a multi-disciplinary team to deal with a patient and you can experience a range of the jobs on this programme. Learn about what happens in the day in a life of a healthcare professional as well as developing skills you might need on your chosen course or career. If you’re thinking of a future in the NHS, then this programme can give you that insight into pathways into becoming a healthcare professional.

You will be able to select one of these two strands to take part in. Which one you pick will determine which taster lectures and seminars you attend. The social and leisure activities will involve students across both strands.
