The programme combines on-campus masterclass days, online content, mentoring from current Oxford Brookes students, and a summer school experience. Participants can choose subject sessions linked to their interests, access support with UCAS applications, personal statements, interviews and careers information, and take part in activities that explain what student life at Oxford Brookes is like.
Successful completion of the programme can lead to a contextual offer to study at Oxford Brookes. The programme is free, with travel and meals provided for in-person activities, and summer school participants may stay in university accommodation or commute if they prefer.
