FAQ's

Where will I be staying?

Students typically stay at a host university campus or one of its colleges. However, accommodation facilities vary by programme and location. The best way to get an accurate idea of what to expect is to check the FAQs for a specific programme and location

How many hours of tuition are provided?

We offer two types of programmes:

- Academic Insights – includes 40 hours of tuition over two weeks, combining theory- and practical-based sessions, workshops, guest speaker events, and one-to-one tutorials. Class sizes are small, with an average of 7 students. - Career Insights – includes 45 hours of tuition over two weeks, with a focus on applied learning through classes, workshops, individual coaching sessions, and industry field visits.

What level of English do I need?

Our tutors are used to teaching undergraduate students who have travelled from all over the world. They are delighted to support students who do not have English as a first language. However, we recommend that participants have a minimum English level of B2 to benefit from the programmes' academic nature fully.

What supervision is provided?

Students are supervised by their subject tutor during class times, and by dedicated mentors during their free time. Students will be part of a mentor family, which is a group of around 7-10 participants attending the programme in the same college but studying a variety of subjects. They are led by their mentor, a current undergraduate at the host university, who is there to answer any questions they may have about the programme or life at university. Mentors form the core of our pastoral care and are on hand to help participants throughout the programme.

Are airport transfers provided?

Travel to and from the programme is not included in the participation fee. However, we offer shared airport transfer service options for all our programmes. Please find more information on airport transfers here

Is course insurance provided?

Programme insurance is not included in the standard participation fee. However, we do offer additional comprehensive summer school insurance for any programme you choose. Our programme consultants are happy to provide more information during a complimentary consultation

Will I get a certificate?
