What's it about?:

The question posed in the title appears to be what Americans refer to as a “no brainer.” Indeed, the answer to this question seems so ‘obvious’ that you might expect it to be a trick and will guess the ‘non-obvious’ answer instead. But we do not need to either simply state the obvious or guess whether that it is a trick. We can carefully define the key terms, measure the things that matter and then work towards an even more surprising answer. Intrigued?

Attending our webinars is a great way to explore your subject interests while gaining experience that can strengthen your personal statement.

Sign up to the whole Summer Series and then choose which sessions you would like to attend on the booking portal.
