The learning behind it.
For many students this is the first time university feels like a place they could belong. A gamified walking hunt takes them through colleges, courts and the stories behind them; museums, punting and a creative team workshop turn a city visit into shared ambition. College and department sessions are arranged where available, without depending on any one institution.
What students take away
