This week, Aimhigher Sussex is giving school and college students from Sussex and further afield a taste of life at university.
Year 12 and 13 students taking a vocational qualification in health and social care will be taking part in a summer school jointly delivered at the Universities of Brighton and Sussex.
This week, the Universities of Sussex and Brighton, in partnership with Aimhigher in the South East, are giving school children from all over the South East a taste of life at university.
