UCL School of Management to host an interactive weeklong summer school for Year 12 students in London and its surrounding areas.
Join us at our Canary Wharf hub for a hands-on experience of how businesses can contribute positively to society and tackle real-world challenges through innovative solutions.
The UCL School of Management enjoys panoramic views from its modern teaching facilities on Level 50 at the iconic One Canada Square nestled amongst world leading businesses. It is easily accessible via public transport.
At the start of the Summer School, participants in will be introduced to a real-world challenge that businesses are currently facing. You will work in small teams, with the help of student ambassadors and UCL academics to present a solution at the end of the week, with feedback from our expert panel.
As part of the week, you will have the opportunity to visit the Felix project and the Canary Wharf Eden project. Finally, a few lucky students will also have the opportunity to apply and take on a weeklong work experience week with the Canary Wharf Group after completing the Summer School.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does it cost to attend the UCL School of Management Summer School?
Nothing - it's completely free. We will reimburse your travel costs and provide lunch each day.
- Do I have to stay over for the Summer Schools?
The summer school is non-residential. You will be required to travel to and from the Summer School each day, however we can arrange for a Student Ambassador to meet you at the station to accompany you to the venue on day 1.
- I can only attend part of the Summer School, should I still apply?
Unfortunately, we require 100% attendance for the duration of the Summer School so if you already have plans that affect your attendance, we must prioritise those that can fully attend the Summer School.

UCL welcomes students with disabilities and will try to meet your needs wherever possible. Please include as much information about your accessibility requirement in your application and we will be in contact with you after places are allocated to discuss how we can best support you.
