Monday 21st June

You’ll arrive at UWE by organised transport in time for a welcome and lunch.  After lunch, you’ll be shown your flats, flatmates and the university campus.  In the evening, we’ll all head off to an Outdoor Activity Centre for a BBQ and activities.  Here you’ll get to know the other students, the Summer School team and hopefully have fun in the process!

On Tuesday morning, you’ll have breakfast in your flats.  This will be followed by your first two academic sessions.  After lunch, you’ll attend workshops where you’ll be given information, tips and guidance on study skills, and student finance.  You’ll get to spend the evening cooking a meal with your flatmates then relaxing, watching DVDs, listening to music or playing games in your flats.

Wednesday 23rd June

Thursday will be another busy day starting with breakfast in your flats.  You’ll then take part your final two academic sessions.  After lunch, you’ll spend time in groups creating a presentation about your experiences at the Summer School, and this will be followed by a mini graduation ceremony, to which your teachers and parents/carers will be invited.  In the evening you’ll dress up and celebrate with a three-course prom dinner followed by a karaoke disco!
