A hundred and fifty school pupils will begin sampling uni life from today - at Bournemouth University's summer schools.

The Year 11 and 12s will spend 3 nights in Halls of Residence, while getting a taste of the classes on offer - and workshops in things like how to apply for uni, fees and funding ... and future career options, as well as social activities in the evenings.

The programme's aimed at students from groups under-represented in Higher Education - like children from low income families and ethnic minorities.
