But what does the tour involve, what will students do, and how might the experience help them prepare for the future? Here is an introduction to the programme.
What Is the G5 Study Tour 2027?
The G5 Study Tour 2027 is a prestigious two-week academic programme that provides students with a unique opportunity to learn across some of the UK’s leading universities.
