What have previous participants said? The employability and personal statement sessions were amazing and the ambassadors were super helpful and the reason I enjoyed myself so much!!! I enjoyed being able to meet people that I would probably never have met The actual subject lessons were very interesting and the best part of the week in terms of giving us a taste of life at uni Check out #UoNsummerschool to see how last year s participants got on!
