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.
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.

Students are supervised by their subject tutor during class times, and by dedicated mentors during their free time.

Mentors form the core of our pastoral care and are on hand to help participants throughout the programme.
