The UK is not only a popular destination for studying abroad but also a hot spot for summer study programmes. Many study tour groups have started accepting applications. Students who are interested in studying in the UK can take this opportunity to familiarise themselves with the local learning environment and prepare for their future studies. There is a wide range of UK study tour programmes offered by boarding schools and universities, covering five main themes: arts, sports, academics, boarding schools, and university experiences. The duration of these programmes can range from 1 to 8 weeks, allowing participating students to choose their preferred study period during the summer.
【Themed Activities and Experiences】
UK summer study programmes combine classroom learning, themed activities, and excursions to provide an understanding of the local culture and opportunities to interact with students from around the world. Active students may be interested in experiencing the sports culture in the UK. One option is a football training program certified by the Arsenal Football Academy, combined with English classes with a football theme. This is a great choice for young football enthusiasts pursuing their dreams. Rugby is also becoming popular in Hong Kong, and some boarding schools offer summer programmes with a rugby theme. In these programs, students have English classes in the morning and rugby training provided by specialised rugby schools in the afternoon.
【Preparing for Future Studies】
Renowned boarding schools and prestigious universities offer various forms of study tours. They organise academic training camps where students can choose courses according to their interests and goals. Students can also stay in school dormitories and have a firsthand experience of student life. It's an opportunity to interact with local university students and learn about application tips for admission. Adrian Ng, the Founder of LINKEDU Education Centre, said, "Summer study programmes allow students to experience the diverse teaching methods in the UK, such as group discussions and research projects, which generate interest in learning. Studying abroad away from family helps develop students' independence skills."
