UCL Advances Summer Programme
The UCL Advances Summer Programme includes a series of Summer Workshops, designed to teach business skills, and Summer Projects.
UCL Advances will be offering students the chance to sign up for Summer Workshops. There are sessions for all levels of business knowledge and ambition, covering a wide range of topics. These will give you the chance to learn skills, develop yourself and help give you an edge when you head off to the world of work. These will be targeted at:
- Introductory level (no business knowledge or personal experience)
- Intermediate level (some knowledge)
- Advanced level (some technical knowledge or business experience is assumed)
The Summer Projects will enable you to take learning from the workshops and put it in to practice. These will allow small teams of students to collaborate on developing business solutions, new ventures and other ideas with practical support in order to put into practice what you have learnt and gather real experience.
