Workshops, Conferences, Summer Schools

Workshops, conferences and summer schools are a great way to get a 'taster' of what it's like to study at university. There are a number of organisations that run these courses, usually hosted by universities, and almost all subjects are covered. The main ones are:

• www.workshop-uk.com
• www.careersmcs.com
