The whole course is tailored around what it's like to study
in a UK university and particularly Warwick University.
By joining the programme, students will develop a wide range of skills
learning how to work with others and not just alongside others.
We're also helping you develop authentic
academic skills such as analysis,
critical thinking, evaluation, interpretation.
The teaching experience is beautiful,
sometimes I'm like, oh, is this the right question to ask,
and they're like, 'No,
you can ask me anything.'
At the end of the year, there is a big conference.
They put all their findings on a poster and it's a really good chance
to see how a research community works.
It's a bit about Brazil,
so it's biodiversity loss and deforestation in the Amazon forest.
My research is something I'm really passionate about
and it would be nice to like, for someone to listen to me.
I'm actually excited.
We have a great variety of students from all over the world,
which is very good in terms of building your network.
Just seeing the diversity here, beyond like studying,
there was a lot for me to do.
It has been good in Warwick because everyone is friendly here.
In the kitchen we always like, cook together and have a dinner there.
A lot of people refer to it as the ‘Warwick bubble’,
you've got everything you kind of need within the campus.
I love to play sports.
In Warwick I can do that three, four times a week.
So this is making me really happy.
I live in a private townhouse. It’s spacious,
my flatmates are not noisy, it's perfect for me.
There's some really nice open spaces like the Piazza.
It has weekly food markets.
We have a very active student union providing lots of activities.
The greenery is just very nice like it felt too good to be true.
We've got water, we've got geese,
really great to have that nature.
There are loads of places to go and just sit like the library.
There's so much support
from so many different avenues in the university.
If you've got any learning needs,
we have dedicated teams of people here.
We also have a community safety team,
they're on campus and always there to provide that support.
Personal tutors, UCAS advisors
and also module tutors are very helpful.
I just feel like they are just there when you need them,
being able to send emails, teams messages.
Just a lot of amazing support, amazing people.
I don't think a typical IFP student exists.
Everyone is different
and everyone brings their own background, their own experiences.
At the end of the year, we have a fantastic end of year event.
So it's a time for students to really relax
and think back on how hard they worked over the past year
and just enjoy themselves,
and it's really pleasing to see students being rewarded
with some outstanding contribution awards and looking
that they're ready to take the next step onto undergraduate.
It's really nice to build that relationship with the student
and get to know them and help them as best they can
progress into their undergraduate studies.
I feel like I have a lot of knowledge
going into the undergraduate course now.
Whatever you want, you're going that you're going to get it from here.
So it's very good.
Don't miss this opportunity
because it's a great experience in terms
of making your own connections,
developing your studying skills, like presentation
skills, Excel, how to write essays.
So yeah, this is a great experience and I'm very grateful I had it.
Since I joined the IFP, I would say I'm more confident.
Take the chance and you won't regret it.
I would definitely say it's a risk worth taking.
Whoever you think you are,
there is a space for you here at this university.
