Meeting at National Taiwan University to promote the International Pre-Master's, Pre-sessional, Pre-Master's in Architecture and range of Summer Schools.

They annually send 40 students to Oxford University to study English during the summer.

11:05

Presentation at Asia American International Academy to promote the Pre-University Summer School and UPC.

A first for me - presenting whilst students eat lunch.

These students - along with all UPC prospective students met during this trip - maybe tested during the annual March UPC admissions events in Beijing and Shanghai. Students would rather travel to take the tests with UCL staff than be retested at the start of the course.

Presentation at Fu Jen Catholic University to promote the International Pre-Master's, Pre-sessional, Pre-Master's in Architecture and Summer Schools.

Unfortunately the university made us limited the number of places to 40. A larger venue will be sought next time.

16:50
Presentation at Taipai Fushing Private School to promote the Pre-University Summer School and UPC. An after school audience of 35 is not bad……
