  • Check age eligibility and any academic prerequisites for the exact session, not just the overall programme.
  • Ask what feedback students receive and what they will study, practise or produce. Look for the balance between seminar discussion, independent reading and research methods. A course focused on human evolution will suit different interests from one focused on contemporary societies.
  • Confirm current dates, fees, cancellation terms and what is included with the provider before applying.
