pre university programs

Does anyone know of any pre-uni programs (international) students can attend to get a feel for the university atmosphere? Preferably research/educationally based. (I know these are available at Oxford/Cambridge but those schools would be quite a reach for me...any others?) These are popular in the USA but I'm having a bit of trouble looking for ones in UK...? Thanks all.

Full details http://www.into-corporate.com/higher-education.aspx however the focus is on bringing applicants English up to scratch. Don't know of anything else though.

From memory, KCL runs a summer school, though I'm not sure of the finer details
