Testimonials
Hear what students are saying about us!
Law and Medicine are not offered, really, as programmes in any capacity at school … I thought it would be really worthwhile to do something that I was considering maybe studying but have never been exposed to.
All the classes were so fun. Of course, I’d expected them to be amazing, but the really high quality did pleasantly surprise me.
I found that the medical programme was really practical. I loved it. It stresses thinking, not just giving us random facts … we learned to think.
I think the course has definitely motivated me to apply to the UK. I’ve always had a dream of going to Oxford or Cambridge … this has helped me realise how much I do enjoy life in the UK as well as seeing Cambridge and the wonderful facilities here helps me understand how good it would be to apply.
