Students will enjoy the peace and quiet of the local area while studying in the morning, before heading out into the hustle and bustle of the city in the afternoon. With the central Zone 1 location, the very best that London has to offer is right on our doorstep. Beautiful parks, a thriving arts scene, famous historical and cultural landmarks, and excellent opportunities for shopping are just a short walk or tube ride away. Students' learning is enriched with regular subject-specific field trips and excursions in and around London. At lunchtime, students can play sport, enjoy an ice cream in Kensington Gardens, or simply relax in the shade of Hyde Park, located just a few minutes' walk away from our Summer School building. ACADEMIC PATHWAYS Each course contains pathway-specific workshops, lectures, and seminars, which are led by expert teachers and industry professionals. Teaching is based on the principle 'learn, practice, produce'. At KPS, students are taught the theoretical foundations, and teachers help them to apply these in practical contexts, and then give them space to create something of their own based on the skills they have learnt. At the end of the programme, students have the chan ce to present their projects to their peers during our student showcase. ART & DESIGN - BUSINESS & ENTREPRENEURSHIP - DRAMA & THEATRESTUDIES ENGINEERING & COMPUTING - LAW, POLITICS & INTERNATIONALRELATIONS MEDICINE FIELD TRIPS Subject-specific field trips are a fundamental part of the student experience. Over the course of the summer programme, students will enjoy five afternoons of academic trips and visits with their subject teachers. These trips provide students with real-world examples of their subjects in action. LIFE SKILLS Alongside their subject classes, summer students benefit from practical workshops which focus on developing the skills that will help them to succeed at university and beyond. Interactive sessions in areas such as critical thinking, public speaking, interview skills, and growth mindset will push students out of their comfort zones and challenge them to develop new ways of thinking. SOCIAL A key part of KPS Summer is meeting new people from all over the world, and creating friendships that will last a lifetime. During the evenings and at the weekend, summer students enjoy a rich and varied social programme which will introduce them to the breadth of the UK's capital city.
