Leeds Summer Schools

Our national programme of summer schools provides an opportunity for students to explore a chosen subject area and experience what it’s like to live and learn at Leeds.

Designed for Year 12 learners our summer schools offer a unique insight into university life. Students take part in interactive workshops and engaging practical sessions which develop their subject knowledge, study skills and careers awareness. Students will also meet current undergraduates, academics, stay overnight in student accommodation and participate in social activities and events.

There may be a contribution of up to £100 towards travel costs for eligible students. When we send confirmation on whether students are successful in their application to attend the summer school they will also be informed if they are eligible to claim for travel. 

Leeds Summer Schools are available in the following disciplines:

• Biological Sciences
• Engineering (in partnership with the Smallpeice Trust)
• Food Science and Nutrition
• Languages (Linguastars)
• Mathematics
• Social Sciences (including Education, Environment, Business, Geography, Sociology, Politics and International Studies)

Applications are now open and will close on Sunday 6 April 2025.
