King’s College London, one of the world’s top 30 universities, held a highly popular pre-university programme at the Singapore International School in Mumbai this Diwali. The programme gave the students an exciting insight into teaching at a world-leading university and equipped them with skills that are useful to be successful at a top university such as King's. The course follows a very successful university level programme held in Mumbai earlier this year.
The Pre-University Programme which took place from 10 to 17 November is part of a much broader major initiative to expand the College’s links in India. Engagement with India forms a core part of the College’s international strategy – in order to develop links for research collaboration and encourage the mobility of staff and students. The Principal and President of King's College London recently visited India as well to strengthen the links between King’s and the country.
Dr Alexander Heinz, Deputy Head of International Programmes at King's, said: 'This programme brings King's innovative teaching methods to Indian school students and exposes them to a highly interactive, student-centered learning experience. The King's Pre-University Programme helps school students develop into self confident young people who will make informed choices about their academic future. The course aims to equip them with cutting-edge knowledge and study skills which are crucial for a head start of their higher education studies internationally.'
Michael Bedward, faculty of the Strategic Management course, added: 'I enjoyed working with such fantastic students enormously. I tailored my teaching especially to the student group that I was teaching and used Indian case studies to introduce the students to concepts that are vital in competitive environments, even for the most senior managers, around the globe.'
