The classes were very different from school. We had the hands-on experiences that are really important for learning the subject and it’s helped me decide what I want to do in the future.

Nicolas - Oxford Royale Student
In school, we mostly learn simpler topics, but these classes were different. The lessons went much more in depth, and I found them fascinating. If this is what university-level learning is like, I definitely want to go to university. I’ve really enjoyed the experience, and I hope university will be just like this.
