What Our Students Say
Tanya Dimitrova WUP student
‘The IELTS lessons were extremely helpful! The Maths lessons were somewhat challenging, but exactly what made the course exciting. The Economics and Management course had a great teacher who passionately involved the students and made the lessons exciting and Caroline's General Studies lessons were the most interesting lessons for me of all the course. Of the skills section, I probably found the interviews most helpful because I am inexperienced in that area. I need more practise.’
Adrien Born WUP student
‘Caroline and Andy were the perfect people for this programme! I really enjoyed their help and huge knowledge.’
Judy Chen WUP student
‘The trips were very helpful for our applications to university. We met professors and students from Oxford and University College who provided us with a lot of information.’
‘The food was good and I was shocked because my friends who have been in the U.K. said the food in the U.K. is not good. I will miss the programme, Corpus Christi and its food.’
‘I had lots of fun doing the film making and learned some communication skills in these lessons.’
‘Critical Thinking and General Studies are good and I learnt something new in every lesson.’
The mock interviews were helpful because I knew nothing about interviews and I feel I made progress and now speak more easily in interviews.’
Thank you for teaching us, taking care of us, driving us for the past three weeks. I am very glad to have you as a teacher. I’ve learned a lot and gained knowledge how to prepare for university. I
‘The trips were very good and enjoyable.’ The Darwin exhibition was enjoyable and amazing. I enjoyed visiting the colleges in Cambridge and the views when were punting were amazing.’
‘Emmy Lin Chien WUP student
I can’t say which activity I preferred because every activity was the best . I saw so many beautiful places on the trips we went on.’
I learnt how to write better essays. In Critical Thinking I leant how to analyse and respond to what I read.’
‘I found the mock interview particularly helpful. They pushed me to think beyond. They also gave us an idea how real interviews work.’
Gauri Gupta WUP student
‘Corpus Christi is the best venue for a summer school, at least from my past experiences. It is very beautiful and there is an incentive to work harder when you live and study on campus.
‘The trips were really good. We learnt a lot about the history of the U.K. as well as enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Ely Cathedral and Warwick Castle were a great experience.’
‘My best activity was punting – the best way to enjoy Cambridge. My favourite parts of the course were the debates and Communication Skills workshops. Since it was the first time doing public speaking and presentations I feel it has developed a sense of confidence in me.’
The one to one sessions with my Director of Studies and mock interviews were particularly helpful. These allowed me to converse openly with my counsellor about the doubts I had over my university applications. It also boosted my level of confidence.’
I have fallen in love with Cambridge. I would surely recommend anyone to do this programme and thank for making my stay delightful.’
George Chen WUP student
‘The food at Corpus: excellent one of the best school meals ever.’
‘The accommodation at Corpus...it’s the best.’
‘I particularly enjoyed the Economics and Management lessons taught by Peter Stimpson.’
Ruoyang Zhang WUP student
‘Corpus Christi is great in terms of facilities and remarkably its food. The staff have been really friendly and helpful.... As far as the food goes, you can’t expect more. It’s been really satisfying. Don’t change the chef. ’
‘The university visits were great and informative. Cambridge has certainly been the most inspiring place .’
‘I can’t choose between punting and visiting colleges as my favourite activity.
General Studies really got me thinking hard and the topics are really interesting and inspiring. I particularly liked the topics on law and psychology. I really learned a lot in General Studies and it has been hard core thinking.’
‘The Economics lessons have been really helpful and were really interesting because it was more about how to think rather than what you know.’
‘The Personal Statement workshops in the Computer Room were really helpful because they pushed me to finish my personal statement. ‘
‘I really enjoyed the programme and I hope you have fun with next year’s group.’
