Year 12 Outreach Summer School 2025

During the summer school students will attend lectures delivered by leading academics, debate key issues, engage in study skills sessions and find out more about university life and the UCAS process. 

Students will meet recent graduates, work with current SOAS students and complete a group project with peers. There are three pathways to choose from:

• Cross-Cultural Connections - exploring History, Philosophies, Arts and Languages & Cultures
• Thriving Futures - exploring Economics, Finance and Global Development
• Law and Society - exploring Law, Anthropology and Politics

Widening Participation

The SOAS Year 12 Outreach Summer School is a widening participation activity designed to give students a first-class experience of study at HE level.
