"It was honestly such a blessing to be surrounded by such a lovely and inclusive environment for 10 days, and experience life living on campus. By choosing the Science and Engineering course, I was exposed to multiple disciplines within the domain, which aided me in deciding on applying for medicine when it is time to do so.

Overall, being able to learn new things, meet new people, develop new skills, make memories, and have fun, all in the span of 10 unforgettable days, was truly the highlight of my summer. I am forever grateful to have been a part of this summer school, and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to make the most of their summer"

My time at Warwick Pre-University Summer School was an experience I will never forget. This event was very enjoyable and useful in order to have a clear perspective for my future plans and university life, which was one of my main aims when I had applied for the Summer School. The multicultural community that I met at Warwick helped me feel like home and motivated me to make long-term friendships with teenagers who share the same passions as I do. Overall, the Summer School had all I wanted: high-quality academic content and facilities, friendly people to talk to after the course ended and orientation programmes for prospective Warwick students. Don’t miss the opportunity to apply!

I was undecided on what courses I wanted to study and afraid of being unfamiliar with university life. But this all changed after the Warwick Summer School. Choosing the Taste of Social Sciences course, I was exposed to different subjects and I was beyond satisfied with the lessons. Having the opportunity to learn from brilliant professors I was able to put myself in the shoes of a university student and also having the chance to stay in one of the halls designed for students, I got first-hand experience of living at the University of Warwick. My experience at the Warwick summer school was unbelievable, it was a mixture of academic study and exploring the UK. The diversity of the programme was outstanding and so were our ambassadors. I am glad and thankful that I decided to spend my summer in Warwick.

Sanat Daga, Thailand

To be a part of Warwick’s inaugural summer programme for Pre-University students was an opportunity I simply could not have missed. To start with, being around students from very different backgrounds who had the same academic interests as mine was a great feeling, especially because it gave me the chance to be part of discussions where I learnt to look at things from different perspectives. Also, having such enthusiastic professors teach us made concepts of game theory, along with group activities, enjoyable! Furthermore, special lectures on subjects such as Democracy made me enjoy topics I didn’t realize I was interested in. Time spent outside class was just as fun, thanks to the Student Ambassadors who were there for us throughout the 10 day program. To summarize it all, this course was exciting from start to finish - I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
