Why Join Our Online Summer Schools?
University Application 101.
MU is the co-curricular division of the wider parent company, U2 Tuition. We specialise in university application support to the US and UK and work with a number of leading UK Schools such as Cheltenham Ladies College, Putney High and Wellington College. The Summer Schools provide a taster of University level courses, to aid students in the application process, particularly for Oxbridge.
Learn From Subject Experts.
We have amassed the best & brightest of the tutors at U2 Tuition to host the Online Summer Schools. The majority of our tutors are Oxbridge-educated and highly passionate about the subjects they teach. They have carefully devised courses that will inspire students beyond the syllabus and pave the way for future university application success.
Boost Knowledge.
Learn cutting-edge content, which can be discussed in personal statements, and brought into conversation at interview. The Summer Schools aim to bridge the gap between school and university, often giving students exposure to 1st year university level material.
Critical Discussion & Debate.
We manage class sizes to facilitate debate and analytical group discussion. Students will build critical thinking, problem solving & communication skills, with Oxbridge interview-style questions posed throughout each session. This sets students up particularly well for any prospective university interviews.
