The Warwick Pre-University Summer School will take place between 2 and 12 July 2019. This fully inclusive 10 day programme is aimed at 16-18 year olds and will be held at the University of Warwick Campus, but will include a 2-night stay in London, which will also feature an industry site visit. Students who enrol for the Summer School can undertake a course in Economics and Finance, or a Taste of Social Sciences (Philosophy, Law, Psychology, Liberal Arts and Global Sustainable Development).

100% of previous attendees have said that they would highly recommend the Pre-University Summer School as an effective taster of studying at a University. Please see link for further information. https://warwick.ac.uk/about/london/study/pre-university/summer-school/
