Our summer school programmes
We have run a series of popular summer school programmes for many years at d’Overbroeck’s. These are delivered in partnership with Bucksmore Education and are designed to help motivated 13-18 year olds to develop the key skills they need to succeed in their current studies, at university and beyond. They are also a great opportunity for students to experience life at d’Overbroeck’s before studying with us full time.
This summer we are offering two programmes:
- Young Professionals programme
- Young Leaders programme
Centred around a weekly themed project, the programmes include theory lessons, interactive lectures, project research and real-life case studies to provide a stimulating and varied learning experience.
