Young Psychologist Summer Experience

The Young Psychologist Summer Experience is an immersive summer school based at University College London and the surrounding University of London campus for curious students aged 15-18.

Guided by practising psychologists and mental-health experts, participants explore clinical, forensic, sports, occupational and developmental psychology through interactive workshops, simulated clinics, courtroom and ward simulations, site visits (including a Premier League stadium and PsychTech firms), and practical assessments. The programme develops empathy, active listening, psychometric assessment and analytical skills, and includes networking sessions with senior professionals.

Students can choose a one-week taster, a two-week full programme or a two-week premium option with extra professional hours. Residential students stay in UCL-linked halls (single en-suite rooms, meals and activities provided).

The course includes career coaching, UCAS guidance, assessed work for a Level 3 Award (8 UCAS points), and a graduation certificate and reference.
