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.
