Eton College has run a residential summer school for students with ambitions to apply to the best universities in this country and abroad since 1982.
This 10 day residential course is designed to really stretch Year 12 students academically & provide help with applying to the most competitive universities.
The summer school is not about improving A-Level grades but is designed to provide a lively and challenging ten days of study.
You choose a subject you would like to engage further with; we provide dynamic teaching and, more importantly, the company of like-minded students from all over the country to work and socialise with.
This is a residential course with students living in Eton boarding houses and eating in the central dining room.
Each day has a packed time table with lessons, study time and also sporting and cultural opportunities.
Many subjects go on trips out and university lecturers visit both to teach and to talk about the details of entry procedure.
Our aim is to give our students the enthusiasm and the know-how to make a really persuasive application to the universities of their choice.
Each year the majority of our students go on to places at Oxford and Cambridge as well as other well-known Russell Group universities.
Numbers: 130 boys and girls
Accommodation: Individual rooms in boarding houses
Teaching: By Eton staff
Fee: The Universities Summer School is intended to be open to all students regardless of means.
The College subsidises the cost of the course and where financial need is shown the cost can be reduced, or in some cases waived.
Thanks to generous sponsorship, the inclusive fee for board, lodging and tuition is £625.
The fee may be remitted partially or wholly, in a case of need.
Application for remission of the fee should be made by letter at the time of application, explaining the circumstances to the Summer School Secretary.
Attendance: As this course is short, intensive and financially sponsored, it is essential that attendees stay for the whole course.

In addition, all students will attend a General Studies Course of lectures and informal tutorial sessions.
Course are subject-specific and include
- sciences
- English
