The Career Insights programme has been great. I’ve been interacting with so many different people from different cultures and different countries, and it’s been fun to learn new things about business management that I didn’t know earlier. Throughout the programme, I’ve noticed myself developing and changing into a more confident individual who has more clarity of his future. It gives you more clarity on how to present projects in front of educators, and it gives you an edge over the rest.

Armaan

Business Management (Career Insights), London

Our tutor was amazing. He knew the answer to every question that you could think of about engineering, knew about everyone’s specialist subjects and was happy to discuss opportunities in each field with us. My favourite aspect of the programme would be going on Industry trips such as the tour of the London Underground, and how engineering plays such a vital role. It’s so much easier to learn and focus when there’s something that’s always keeping your attention rather than just having to focus only on lectures and classroom learning.

Ferris M

Engineering (Career Insights), London

The Career Insights programme has been really, for lack of a better word, ‘immersive’ into what the experience of living in London for university would really be like – having that chance to connect with different people and comparing our own experiences, discussing what we’ve learned and meshing all our knowledge to come up with big collective ideas to share with the group in class. The programme has given me a lot of clarity on what a career or even a university education in medicine really looks like.
