Most non-WP Summer residentials are only available to Year 12s - its to do with safeguarding - example :
Aerospace Engineering Liverpool University

However, there are plenty of online Moocs - short, free, online Uni courses - that you could do over the summer :
Introduction to Studying Engineering Course - FutureLearn
An Introduction to Electronic Engineering - Online Course - FutureLearn
Introduction to Accounting and Finance - Online Course
Introduction to FinTech and Financial Innovation - Online Course - FutureLearn
Etc.

Hi there,

I've heard good things about an engineering summer school ran by 'InvestIn', I think it's about 2 weeks of hands on experience with career advice, site visits and hands on projects. They also have other experiences running that you could check out.
Here's the link - sorry it's a bit long
