Course description

This programme is designed to help international high school students prepare for the coming challenges of postsecondary studies and professional life in a supportive and academically stimulating environment. Combining critical exercises in self-reflection with an exploration of the study and career options available to them, students will come away from the programme with a better understanding of their own identities and life goals, and how to strategize for their futures. They will also learn how engaging deeply and creatively with the English language – beyond the basics of “ESL” – can help them realize their dreams.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:
• Students aged 16 to 18 years with high-intermediate to advanced level of English (equivalent to IELTS 5.0+), prepared to participate in advanced academic discussions
• Passionate and ambitious individuals who are starting to consider their futures
• Students who could benefit from critical self-reflection and goal-setting exercises
