The University of Southampton

Try before you apply

If you love maths, technology or science, try our week-long summer school in electronics and computer science.

In ECS you get a good mix of the theoretical and the practical, preparing you for your career. Your skills are almost instantly transferable because you have used the theory and the tools. It seems that on most days my inbox receives an email about an internship or a graduate offer with a company.
