On-campus Residential Summer Schools Application 2025

The University of Brighton summer schools programme offers you the chance to experience what it’s like to study at university, helping you to make a decision about what’s right for you after sixth form or college.

We offer two types of summer school – on-campus residential (staying overnight in halls) and online. For more information about each type of summer school and the subjects available, please visit our summer school webpages.

The on-campus residential summer schools are for students in year 12/first year of college/sixth form, who are 16/17 years old on 8 July 2025. Places are limited and will be offered to students who meet our widening participation criteria.

Please complete the form below to apply for a place on one of the University of Brighton residential summer schools.

The deadline for applications to the on-campus summer schools is Friday 30 May 2025.
