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.

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.
