Q&A by our Expert Instructors

What kind of changes can we expect in students, after joining this camp? 

Participants will acquire valuable theoretical knowledge that will give them a strong foundation for their futures. 

They will acquire unwavering confidence that will not falter in any situations and they will become adept at employing different techniques, so that they are able to communicate effectively to their given audience; whether that be trying to reach a large audience with a point of view, or to pitch their business to an investor.   

Participants will become insightful and will be able to identify and adopt the approaches needed to achieve their goals. 

What is the teaching approach of the camp? How is it different from day-to-day class experience? 

In our public speaking and debate classes, the emphasis lies on participating. The only way to learneffectively is by doing it yourself.  

Participants will be split into smaller groups and will be led by graduates from Cambridge who all have experience chairing public speaking societies at university.  

By receiving personal feedback from teachers who have years of experience guiding beginners in the world of public speaking, they will have the opportunity to develop and reach their full potential. 

How could this camp support student in excelling at top universities’ interviews?  

Throughout the camp, participants will be encouraged to critically defend their arguments from challenging questions and rebuttals, as well as think comprehensively about how to articulate themselves and persuade interviewers.  

They will be empowered to not only to identify these rhetorical techniques, but also to apply them with confidence as effective communicators and persuaders. They will be taught how to stand out from competition, ensuring that they make a lasting impression. 

Other than communications skills, what other benefits could students enjoy from the camp?

During the five-day camp, participants will also be interacting closely with the instructors from Cambridge University. The camp will provide a perfect opportunity for participants to ask any questions and learn more about the most prestigious university in the world.  

Most importantly, they will gain Friendships! They will be living with like-minded people from a range of backgrounds and forming life-long connections. 

What will be covered in the STEM course?  

Our course will introduce participants to the 4 key areas that will greatly impact our society in the coming years via STEM-based setting: Artificial Intelligence, Ageing Society, Clean Growth, and Future Mobility.  

Over the sessions, participants will have the opportunity to enhance their critical thinking and analytical skills through research projects and presentations focused on addressing these important issues. 

How will the Social Science Taster session be preparing participants for university entrance and beyond? 

The course is carefully designed to allow participants navigating their areas of interest, along with developing the capability to imply close analysis confidently and relevant skills for subject-specific interviews and assessments.   

We will also demonstrate how they can make use of a wide variety of resources, ranging from literature, historical and philosophical texts, and material culture, to construct and support solid arguments in preparation for university courses.
