¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Outreach: Summer Challenge 2013 - teaching opportunity for postgraduates and funding opportunity for departmental initiatives

24 October 2012

Summer Challenge is a short academic course for Year 12 students which piloted in 2012 as part of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Horizons programme.

It supports the aims of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's Access Agreement.

It is designed to increase the number of high quality applications made to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº by students from under-represented backgrounds, and to develop their independent research, critical thinking, academic writing and presentation skills. ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Outreach is currently recruiting ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº postgraduates to be Summer Challenge 2013 tutors, and is also offering an opportunity for academic departments to apply for £1,300 in Outreach funding to run their own Summer Challenge courses.

The deadline for both types of applications is 7 January 2013.
