Our Aims

Our aims are to give learners a taste of student life at a top university and to equip them with the knowledge, confidence and capabilities they need to realise their academic and career aspirations in any country.

We do this by providing college-based summer programmes which enable our participants to:

  • Understand the top world universities’ application processes.
  • Enhance their skills for leadership, learning and life, which are valued by top universities and employers.
  • Extend their subject knowledge beyond the school curriculum and develop a passion for learning.
  • Increase their confidence and self-awareness.
  • Prepare an ongoing ‘personal development plan’ (16-18 years only) which clarifies their goals and builds on their strengths.

As a result of attending our programmes, students will develop strengths in all the following areas:

  • Confidence in dealing with new people and situations.
  • Effective speaking, listening, reading and writing, in an academic context.
  • Responsibility for their own learning and time management.
  • Ability to lead teams and delegate tasks.
  • Accurate note-taking, independent research and analysis.
  • Thinking creatively and reflectively.
  • Drawing logical conclusions and making sound decisions.
  • Presenting persuasive arguments and convincingly supporting their beliefs.
  • Giving and receiving feedback constructively.
