THE IMPACT OF UNIQ

UNIQ celebrated its five year anniversary in 2014. Some of those involved in its early years talk about the importance of this opportunity to experience Oxford before making their applications for university places.

What Students Say...

The week gave an amazing chance to gain a deeper insight into Chemistry, whilst experiencing something of university life through various activities as well as just being with a lovely group of people.

Chemistry

The highlight of my week was visiting the Oxford MRI centre where we got to see an MRI scan from one of the strongest scanners in the world. During this experience we got a man to do a variety of different tasks in the scanner, for example tapping his finger or singing, so we could observe which part of the brain ‘lit up’ and controlled that particular task.

My week at UNIQ was truly amazing and was topped off with a goodbye-barbecue on the Friday. UNIQ are really generous and I really appreciate how everything was free. I made some friends for life there and would seriously recommend it. Don't even hesitate in applying!

Everyday started with an amazing full English breakfast and a cup of tea with my new friends, discussing how excited we were for the day ahead! We then went to visit the amazing galleries such as the Ashmolean, Christ Church picture gallery and Modern Art Oxford to locate our paintings we were studying for the academic programme.
