Applications for the Pathways programme open before the UK Summer Schools, and you will hear the outcome of this application before the UK Summer Schools applications open in January 2025.
If your Pathways application is successful and you accept your place, you won’t be able to apply to the UK Summer Schools. If you are, however, rejected from Pathways, or choose to reject your place, you can apply to the UK Summer Schools.
We would discourage you from rejecting your place on the Pathways programme in order to apply the UK Summer School, as it would prevent another deserving student from attending and will not guarantee that you'll be accepted onto the UK Summer Schools. Please be mindful of this when making your decision.
