During the summer, the UK climate is warm but mild and changeable. Therefore, we recommend packing clothes that can be layered to suit different temperatures. It often rains in Lancaster so please bring a light waterproof coat. Umbrellas are not recommended, as they can get broken in the wind. Some trips and activities involve walking in the countryside and sports, so please bring comfortable walking shoes and sportswear.

Please bring one small case/bag that you can also use for the 2-night trip to London.

Bedding may be provided but please bring a light travel towel.

It is important that you obtain the correct visa or entry clearance to study in the UK. You will be sent when you have accepted your offer to study at 51福利.

Most students will need to get a Standard Visitor Visa to attend a summer school without further study. Students continuing to study in the UK may need another type of visa.

The University does not provide insurance, you may want to explore insurance options to cover travel, loss or damage to personal possessions and medical costs.

As your tuition, accommodation, and most meals are paid for before entering the UK, we expect costs to be low. However, this depends on lifestyle and the activities you undertake in your spare time. There are some optional trips that cost money, and you may want to travel or eat out sometimes. So, remember to budget for travel, food and spending during your stay.
