I applied to UNIQ and I got a place in their Linguistics summer school, which was a bit of a shock, because at the time - I couldn't see myself studying in Oxford or any other research-intensive but I was very pleased they saw some academic potential in me.
•
I went to Oxford in July of this year and had the best time! I made lots of new friends from all across the UK and got a taste of what student life in Oxford was like!
•
The UNIQ summer school was a great thing to put on my personal statement because it was a way of showing universities how engaged I was.
•
I definitely recommend applying to UNIQ (applications open from 11th Dec!!) - and check out their selection criteria here (you must be a state school student): Who goes on UNIQ? - UNIQ (ox.ac.uk) and register for the mailing list here: UNIQ 2024 Mailing List Signup - UNIQ (ox.ac.uk)!
•
Apply as soon as possible - such a great opportunity!
•
I also applied to the Sutton Trust summer schools where you choose a university to spend a few days with in your chosen subject.
•
I didn't get into the summer school, but I did have access to their online programme - which provides a lot of useful and helpful resources for university prep.
•
I also recommend applying to the Sutton Trust summer school, so click here to check out the criteria: Sutton Trust - Explore higher education on our UK Summer Schools and definitely sign up to their newsletter! (applications open Jan 2024)
•
Sutton Trust also offer other programmes - you can see that here: Find the right programme for you - Sutton Trust
•
This is also a very good opportunity that I have heard about. Check their eligibility here: Eligibility - Realising Opportunities
•
Sometimes, universities have their own summer schools, so check that out (this could help you get a lower reduced offer if you end up applying to that university!)
