This summer school provides a fruitful and engaging experience to students. It is not only about providing University-level introductory lectures, but also about project based activities that encourage critical thinking and creativity. In addition, there are lectures about preparing for University education, and several campus and company visits. I highly suggest this school for prospective students.

My daughter recently returned from the Innovate Summer Academy and had an incredible experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The quality of teaching was first-class. The lectures went into real depth, and small class sizes meant she got genuine one-to-one time with them to discuss her learning in more detail. This all came together in her Capstone project, where she applied what she'd learned in class and her industry visits, developed skills in critical thinking and problem-solving and presented confidently to a panel of experienced lecturers. She has since told me this experience has confirmed exactly what she wants to study at university next year and I’m delighted as before, she was a bit unsure. Beyond the academics, the programme struck a brilliant balance. The timetable left space to explore London, bond with her group (she has so many amazing pictures and stories!), take in the city's cultural highlights, and go on industry visits that brought her classroom learning to life. She's made genuine friends who are planning to stay in touch and meet up next year and she’s left feeling motivated and ready for the next step in her academic journey. Huge thanks to the whole Innovate team and a special shout out to Kevin, the programme lead, for creating a summer programme that balances academic rigour with a fantastic life experience, and Josh, who looked after the students so well day to day. Highly recommended without hesitation and thank you so much - my daughter will never forget her time with you all!

This program was a great experience. The classes in my faculty (engineering) were very interesting because they showed us how engineers think and approach problems. The talks held each day were inspiring, as they were given by speakers who had genuinely overcome significant challenges and achieved success.

A great, immersive experience. We got practical experience and excursions we wouldn’t be able to access anywhere else. We also got to do lots of sightseeing
