Highlights
About The Programme
The Prince Summer Programme is a challenging and inspiring Foundation course that prepares international students to further their studies at internationally-renowned British universities. This programme is designed to equip students with academic literacy, skills and knowledge required to successfully tackle an undergraduate degree programme.
The Prince Summer Programme is split into two parts: Part I and Part II, which occurs across two summers in the UK. Students who successfully complete both Parts will be awarded an NQF Level 3 International Foundation Certificate. Students who only complete one part (Part 1 or Part 2) will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance.
The Prince Summer Programme provides students with a wide range of opportunities to progress to various highly-ranked universities in the United Kingdom upon the successful completion of the course. Individual universities may specify certain requirements for course progression.
Upon the successful completion of both parts of The Prince Summer Programme, students will be awarded with “The Prince Programme Certificate – NQF Level 3 International Foundation Certificate”. With this qualification, students are then able to apply to various highly-ranked universities in the UK for their undergraduate degree studies. Our high-achieving students have been previously sought after by many Russell Group universities.
We have consistently placed students at the following prestigious universities:
- King’s College London
- Queen’s Mary London

Experience Incredible Events/Activities
The British Firework Championships were started in 1997 by The Event Services Association (TESA), a trade body representing the outdoor events industry in the UK. The displays are best viewed from Plymouth Hoe – and best of all, it’s totally free to attend.
Each year six professional display companies are selected by draw to take part – three on each evening of the event -and every sixth year there is a Champions event when winners from the previous five years (plus the previous Champion-of-Champions winner) return to battle it out for the overall title Champion-of-Champions.
The Prince Summer Programme allows students to prepare for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Programme by arranging participants to follow a series of summer activites. Participants will attend these sessions on 4 different Saturdays, as taster sessions to the actual Duke of Edinburgh Programme activities. The sessions cover the following categories:
- VOLUNTEERING Participants will participate in services that contribute to individuals or the community.
- PHYSICAL Participants are given the opportunities and resources to improve in either sports, dance or other fitness activities.
- SKILLS The programme provides a conducive environment to develop participants’ practical and social skills, and personal interests.
- EXPEDITION Participants are to take part in the planning, training for and completion of an adventurous journey in Plymouth.
Though these activities are insufficient to fulfil the full requirements of the actual Duke of Edinburgh’s Programme for the Bronze Level, it is considered as an introduction to the DofE. This taster course recognises adolescents and young adults who complete these self-improvement activities.
DofE is delivered in around 130 countries so there is a possibility that a participant could start their DofE at UK and then finish their Award in another country (as long as DofE is offered there!).
