Dates and times
Successful applicants will be expected to attend all three days online from 10 am to 5 pm usually taking place in May. There will be regular screen breaks worked into the programme.
Guaranteed contextual offer
For most courses, attending and completing The Virtual Summer School guarantees participants a contextual offer, providing they meet the full entry requirements of the course applied for (such as GCSE and subject requirements).
The contextual offer is usually set two grades below the standard offer (for example, ABB instead of AAA). Students who are undertaking the appropriate subjects but do not have the predicted contextual offer grades are usually made an aspirational offer at the contextual level.
If the course holds interviews as part of the selection process (such as Medicine and Dentistry), Virtual Summer School participants will be guaranteed an interview, rather than a guaranteed contextual offer. The interview will be guaranteed if their predicted grades meet the contextual entry requirements and the GCSE requirements. If participants are successful at interview, they will be made an offer at the contextual level.
