Bridging High School and University Learning

A seven-day Winter School on university-level education, led by faculty members, open to students of Grades IX-XII.

APU Winter school 01

We invite you to be a part of our seven-day Winter School designed to provide high school students a brief yet impactful introduction to university-level education. 

Students will have the opportunity to explore a selection of academic disciplines and experience how they are taught at the undergraduate level. 

Each day of the programme will introduce students to a new discipline, from the sciences and humanities to social sciences. Sessions will be led by experts who will guide students through engaging lectures and interactive discussions. 

The Winter School focuses on bridging the gap between high school and university by offering students a chance to think critically, ask questions and reflect on their academic futures. It will serve as a stepping stone, sparking curiosity and preparing students for the choices they will face as they approach higher education.
