• Goodwill Ambassador Programme

  An international programme that takes place during the summer break, exposing students to future careers as they shadow doctors, lawyers, scientists and other professionals.

Students will be able to refer to this in their university applications.

  Cost: £2,500-4,000 (optional).

  Cost: £800 (optional).

• Native language courses
