Subject Insight
Students receive one subject insight session per week for each of their two chosen subjects. The subject insights are organised into five academic schools.
In Oxford, the five schools are culture, health science, social science, business and STEM.
In Cambridge, the five schools are new technologies, health science, social science, business and STEM.
The first subject insight will address topical issues within the school led by Bucksmore Counsellors and the second subject insight, led by an external provider, gives students a ‘hands-on’ experience in the subject field.
