Summer residential

Hi,
I’m in year 12 and am looking for opportunities to attend uni summer residential. I don’t meet the widening participation criteria and was wondering if anyone knew of any universities offering this without the widening participation criteria.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! It does look good but I’m looking into social science (psychology).

Step into Bath - this program does not have widening participation requirements, but you do have to be on track to meet their entry requirements.
