Read what our recent Non-Russell Group scholarship winner, Dora, had to say about her experience of our on campus summer school:
 
The lessons I learned and the connections I made during the three weeks of the summer school are something that I think will stay with me for life. In the lab, I developed valuable technical and transferable skills. The environment was incredibly encouraging and inspiring. Designing and carrying out an experiment was challenging, but the support we received from the patient teaching staff throughout was amazing.

Teamwork is arguably the most important skill that I honed, as collaboration is crucial in science. From the very first day, I had to work intensively with entirely new people, which helped me learn how important communication is. I feel that my group’s success can largely be attributed to our ability to really listen to each other and incorporate our diverse experience and knowledge when making decisions.

Hearing from renowned guest lecturers about cutting-edge research broadened my range of knowledge. Talking to Master’s students about their experience at Imperial and as postgraduates guided me as I prepare to make decisions about my future in science. 
I also enjoyed the wonderful social calendar with activities around London. Connections with peers in a multicultural environment was enriching and I believe I have made lasting friendships.
