Once your registration is approved by the organisers you will be sent a link to pay the participation fee of £350 which covers accommodation Sunday - Saturday, coffee breaks, lunches, a drinks reception and a School BBQ.

Directions
Within the UK: Southampton is served by two train stations, Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway. Both are a short bus ride from the Highfield Campus using the lines U1A(irport) U1C(entre), but Southampton Airport Parkway is the preferable station when coming directly to the campus.
International Travel: You can travel to the UK by train, and then take a train from London Waterloo to Southampton. There are direct flights to Southampton from a number of cities in Europe with flight hubs where you can catch connecting flight to several destinations. If you are travelling to one of the London Airports, Southampton is linked to Heathrow with a coach (eg National Express) and to Gatwich by a direct train.
Local travel: The School accommodation is within walking distance to the Campus. In principle you can use your contactless payment methods to use the busses but it has been reported that the dedicated Bluestar mobile app is more reliable.
