Comprising of 3 on-campus events (February, March and a residential in July) as well as a series of online virtual events and featuring input from leading academics and current undergraduate mentors, the programme will challenge participants academically and enhance current studies. Activities include support from a current student mentor, university-style subject-specific and study skills sessions, and working towards an academic project
