THREE students from the Stockton area have been taking part in a summer school organised by University College London (UCL) and the British Library.
Neil McIntyre from Bede College in Billingham and Jenny Chambers and Sean Cooney from Stockton Sixth Form College were part of a group from across the country to sample life at the university.
They took part in a number of activities including lectures and seminars.
Jenny said: "The summer school was an excellent opportunity to see at first hand how students are taught at university."
Simon McGuiness, widening participation officer at UCL, said: "The summer school is an excellent example of UCL's commitment to widening participation. The strategy aims to target groups that are currently under-represented in higher education and, where possible, to increase the excellent progression and retention rates of these students."
