How to apply
Choosing your course
Submitting an application to the Summer School means you are applying for a place on the Summer School programme. You should use the information on this website to help you choose your preferred course choices. It is important to note that any updates and changes to courses will be made online so please consult our website before you make any final decisions. If you need help or advice then do not hesitate to contact the Summer School office.
First and second course choices
When selecting and researching your courses you should choose a first and second choice per session. We unfortunately cannot guarantee that every course will run because each course must meet minimum enrolment numbers. In the event that your first choice is not available then we will offer your second choice. In the unlikely event that neither of your choices is available we will contact you directly to request alternative choices.
Academic course pre-requisites
All courses are offered at first year undergraduate level so we are not expecting you to offer particular expertise or to have majored in a particular subject. Although prior academic experience of a subject is helpful, as long as you meet our admission criteria, we are happy to consider you for any of our courses.
Making an application:
Submitting an application to the Summer School means you are applying for a place on the Summer School and not an individual course. We advise you to apply as early as you can to increase your chances of getting onto the Summer School. Places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
After you have decided which course(s) you would like to apply for, you should submit an application using our online application form, available via the 'Apply' link on the right hand side of this page; you should first select the course you would like to apply for (as a first choice) and then click the apply button. All applications are subject to a one-time, non-refundable application fee.
Early application deadline: 31 May 2012
Our early application deadline is 31 May 2012. Applications received on or before 31 May are given priority placing on popular courses and accommodation (if required) as well as a reduced application fee.
Late application deadline: 15 June 2012
Our late application deadline is 15 June 2012. Applications received between 1 – 15 June are subject to availability of places. A late application fee applies to all applications received from 1 June.
The application form
The application form is available via the 'Apply' link on the right hand side. You should first select the course you would like to apply for (as a first choice) and then click the apply button. If for any reason you are unable to access the online application form, or require assistance during the process then please contact the Summer School office directly for advice.
Academic transcript
All applications should be supported by an academic transcript. If you are not at university or it is proving difficult to obtain your academic transcript then you should contact the Summer School office for further advice.
English language proficiency
If your first language is not English then you will be required to provide evidence of language proficiency. We accept and consider a variety of English language qualifications as well as a variety of forms of evidence. Further details can be obtained from our website or directly from the Summer School office.
