The programme included a series of interactive lectures at this world-renowned university, covering a diverse range of topics such as archaeology, current political and social issues, and the fascinating history of London. These lectures provided students with a comprehensive understanding of the subjects, sparking curiosity, encouraging critical thinking, and offering a taste of the traditional tutorial system.

Beyond the classroom, students participated in exciting learning activities, including visits to prestigious museums such as the Ashmolean Museum and the British Museum. These visits allowed students to witness historical artifacts and artworks firsthand, deepening their appreciation for British culture and history.
Their dedicated Residential Assistants played a crucial role in ensuring a seamless experience, organising cultural activities, and providing continuous support throughout the programme. Their efforts ensured that students were not only learning but also enjoying their time in the UK.
