Students Highlights of UNIQ 2021

 

 

“The academic sessions in the big groups was very fun.”

“Tutorial experience and gaining a deeper insight into the Oxford educational experience”

“It was probably the lectures and the mini tutorial session we had with the student ambassadors (I loved learning more about Law and discussing them within our breakout rooms was an added bonus).”

“The live tutorial sessions because they were more interactive and I was able to fully express myself, ask questions and get direct feedback.”
