Summer Schools definition

Summer Schools. A summer school programme, including bespoke programmes aimed at mature students, Access Course students, part-time students and vocational learners. • Access all Areas: A progression programme to support progression from level 3 programmes (including Access Courses) in target FE colleges to higher education programmes in the University and from Foundation Degrees (and other sub-graduate courses) in our partner colleges to Honours degrees in the University. We see this work with further education colleges as providing one of the key opportunities for engagement with part-time and mature learners. We will hold an annual 'progression summit', involving University staff, partner FEC staff and students - focused on the transition to Honours and joint work on the development of our respective staff teams.
