Applications are now open for the 2013 Sutton Trust Summer School in Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic, which will take place during the week of 26th - 30th August. The Summer School provides an opportunity for Year 12 pupils from non-privileged backgrounds to experience life at Cambridge. Participants will stay at St John's College, and will have the chance to take part in a range of lectures, classes and seminars on various aspects of Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic languages, literature, and history. All costs are covered by the Sutton Trust. For more details about Sutton Trust Summer Schools at Cambridge, see the university's webpages. For more about the ASNC Summer School, see here. Or watch what one previous participant had to say about his experience:
Applications can be made through the Sutton Trust website. The deadline for applications is 11th March. Many of our current undergraduates first experienced ASNC through a Sutton Trust Summer School; other participants have simply enjoyed the opportunity to experience a week of interdisciplinary study completely unlike anything they've ever done at school.
