Are you interested in business, sociology, politics or geography but are struggling to decide what to study at university? Do you want to explore the social sciences? Apply for the Social Sciences Summer School at the University of Leeds!
Our three-day, two-night Social Sciences Summer School, running from Tuesday 24 June - Thursday 26 June 2025, is the perfect opportunity for Year 12 students to explore a variety of social sciences subjects (including Environment, Geography, Sociology, Education, Politics and International Studies and Business) and live life as a university student.
Through a series of academic workshops relating to our theme of 'Creating Change', students will experience university-level teaching including lectures, seminars, and workshops; supporting them to make informed higher education course choices. Participants will stay overnight in university accommodation and take part in social activities supported by our Student Ambassadors, gaining valuable insight into the extracurricular opportunities available to them as an undergraduate student.
Following the event, participants will also be invited to take part in a series of online sessions supporting their UCAS application and transition to university.
