2. You must be passionate about science.
3. All activities are in English and participants should have a good knowledge of the language.
4. Students should have a keen interest in Science with a reference from their school.
Optional visits are restricted this year as we are looking to keep our students together as an LIYSF bubble and it is not permitted this year to go to tourist areas in central London.
We will be trying to offer some visits for our students:
Day trip to Stonehenge
Day trip to Oxford of Cambridge
See the directions to our halls.
An information pack will be provided prior to arrival detailing how participants can get from the airport to the halls of residence using public transport. Alternatively you can arrange a private transfer through us at an extra cost, email us at [email protected] outlining all details of your arrival and departure.
