Post-16 activities
We offer a range of opportunities to students taking A-levels or equivalent to help them make informed decisions about university.
Our post-16 programmes give a taste of what it is like to study at Bristol. Participants who successfully complete Access to Bristol, the Insight into Bristol summer school, Next Step Bristol, or the Virtual Summer School are eligible to receive admissions benefits such as the Guaranteed Contextual Offer.
