AI Thread Summary
Pre-college summer programs at European engineering universities are not widely known or available, with limited options reported in Sweden. While some prestigious institutions like Oxford offer programs for US high school students, they can be expensive. There is a suggestion that high schools may have exchange programs, but specific examples were not provided. Additionally, some university departments, particularly in nuclear engineering, maintain exchange programs for undergraduate and graduate students, indicating a potential pathway for later academic pursuits in Europe. Overall, the availability and cost of pre-college programs in Europe appear to be significant considerations for interested students.

hey.. I was thinking of applying to pre-college summer program at a European Engineering university ... Do any of the universities there offer such programs and how do they compare to the programs here in the US? checked out a few universities in sweden but to no avail.


Thanks

I've never heard of such a thing.
 
I got invited once to a thing at Oxford for high school students from the US. Cost quite a bundle, however, so I never looked into it much other then getting the letter.
 
Pre-college summer programs may not exist, or they will cost!

Some high schools have exchange programs, unfortunately I do not know any any off-hand.

The nuclear engineering department at the university which I attended had exchange programs with various universities and institutions in Europe. I believe it is still active, but it is during the baccalaureate and graduate programs.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
