Our first-ever Innovate Summer Academy intake has come to a close with students from around the world joining us in London for an unforgettable academic and cultural experience. And it’s safe to say, our students loved every minute!
According to our end-of-term survey, participants rated their overall experience an incredible 9.76/10, with 97% saying they would recommend Innovate to a friend. Teaching quality received 8.12/10, with students praising the interactive lessons and the encouragement to think critically and collaborate. It’s no wonder, given our lecturers come from top QS-ranked universities including Imperial College London, the University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL).
Based at UCL, right in the heart of London, the Academy offered the perfect setting for students looking for a high-quality summer school in London. Students have the opportunity to explore the city while studying in one of the world’s most famous academic environments.
Industry engagement was another highlight. Visits to leading London companies and guest lectures brought classroom theory to life, earning an 8.12/10 rating. Evening and weekend activities also stood out, with 8.59/10 for helping students build friendships and enjoy every moment.
Beyond academics, our summer camp for teens focuses on developing essential skills such as leadership, teamwork and confidence. Students rated the course’s balance and challenge at 9.06/10, reflecting how much they grew personally and academically during the programme.
Following such a successful first year, applications are now open for Innovate Summer Academy 2026. Whether you want to prepare for university, explore future career paths, or experience London student life, Innovate offers the perfect summer of growth and discovery.
