The Summer School

The Summer School - details of the course and who is eligible to apply.

Has completing Week 1 tempted you to consider the possibility of pursuing a career in property?

If you, or someone you know is based in the UK and meet the following criteria, you or they may like to consider taking part in our upcoming Summer School. Watch the video at the top of this Step to hear from students who’ve taken part in a previous Summer School and to find out more about what they got up to.

The Summer School will enable students to get a real insight into the property sector and learn about different career routes into the industry. The Summer School is open to Year 12 students from a state funded school/college in the UK.

Places will be offered to those who best meet the following criteria:

  • Attend and have always attended a state school or college
  • Students from neighbourhoods with low overall progression rates to Higher Education and/or high levels of socioeconomic deprivation
  • Students with no immediate family working in the real estate sector
  • Students who have no family experience of university
  • Students who have achieved a Grade 6/B or above in Mathematics and English GCSE
  • Students who have predicted grades of AAB-BBB A Level or equivalent qualification

The next Summer School will take place in July 2021. The date will be confirmed and applications for the Summer School will open in January 2021. All details will be provided on the website.

Next week we’ll be considering three big issues that affect property development: sustainability, globalisation and technology; and we’ll look at how each of them has affected the International Quarter London.
