About this event

In the summer of 2023, SOAS will be offering seven Summer Schools for Year 12 students and we hope you will join us for these exciting opportunities. 

During each Summer School you will attend lectures delivered by leading academics, debate key issues in a seminar, engage in study skills sessions to sharpen your critical thinking ability, and find out more about University life and the UCAS process. You will meet recent graduates, work with current SOAS students, and complete a group project with your peers. 

The SOAS summer schools are widening participation activities designed to give students a first-class experience of study at HE level, and are free.
