Northeastern University London's Get Ahead: Summer School is designed for Year 11 students looking to get a head start before sixth form or college. The free, four-day programme gives students a genuine taste of university life at Northeastern University London's campus in central London.

Participants take part in four academic taster sessions across subjects including politics and international relations, business, psychology, law, computer science, and philosophy, alongside sessions on study skills, wellbeing, and budgeting to help with the transition ahead. There's also a visit to Tower Bridge, and current Northeastern University London students are on hand throughout the week as Student Ambassadors.
