UNI CAMP 2020

Summer course for students 9 - 11 grade

Uni Prep Highschool Enrichment Camp
19 July - 1 August 2020

for native English speaking students or at least B1 level

For the first time in Bulgaria, British and Dutch university lecturers will lead a summer course for students 9-11 grade. Immersing in a real academic atmosphere will enable the students to easily identify their academic major and professional development.

The course is advisable for those who hesitate between two or more majors as well as for students who haven't decided yet what they are really good at.

Teaching will be held in English only and is suitable for students with English level above B1 and native English speakers.

Course content

Academic lectures | Academic skills

“Capable students, despite their high grades from secondary school, very often are unprepared for the fast pace of the university education. Far too often students arrive in a new country and waste valuable time and energy acclimatizing culturally and academically, meaning that they are running to catch up from the start”.

stated Prof. Robin Bunton, one of the founders of the innovative approach in the program.
