Perhaps you’d expect a world-renowned institution like Stanford to emphasise academic excellence. You may prepare yourself to compete against your peers in a battle for recognition and prestige, attempting to race to the top of the score chart. However, the reality is refreshingly different.
Here, you’ll have access to tutors — all of whom are Stanford master’s and PhD students themselves — and academic advisors. This means you’ll gain insider knowledge and firsthand tips to enrich your journey.
“It’s very rare to get so much information at your fingertips, and it’s all very useful, so make the most out of it,” advises Anthony Koroteyev.
Indeed, what makes Stanford special is its collaborative learning environment. You’ll be attending courses at a leading research university, studying alongside Stanford undergraduates and postgraduates, and hanging out with visiting students from around the world. Most importantly, you’ll find unwavering support from some of the best educators in the world.
“You can tell this is their life’s work, and they’re super invested in their subjects, and it translates to their teaching,” Joshua Cohen says. “They love what they do. You can tell that they’re having fun when they learn something exciting or teach it.”
