They are short courses organised by universities in London to provide Year 12 students, or anyone else who is planning on starting their undergraduate studies in September 2011, the opportunity to experience life at university before making their UCAS application.
The courses cover a range of subjects within the Arts and Humanities, Business and Computing, Engineering, Language and Culture, Medicine and Medical Related Courses, Sciences and Social Sciences.
Not only do the courses offer you an insight into study at university, but they also offer the opportunity of attending a course that you may be interested in, but are not sure about at this stage.
The experience will also enable you to check out the non-teaching facilities provided by the university as well as the chance to meet with other students on the taster course and undergraduate students studying at the university.
The courses run from half-a-day to a week. Check the course information in the Course Search
