Workshops and seminars in each student's chosen subject before they apply.
Maximum 15 students for personal attention and direct university interactions.
Milan in Italy plus Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Leiden in the Netherlands, each a distinct cultural and academic environment.

Depending on your passport, a Schengen visa may be required. Intellete can assist families with the application process. Visa fees are not included in the programme fee.
After sign-up, students complete an interest profile and are grouped by primary academic interest (Business, Health Sciences, Engineering, Design, Law/Humanities) to visit the relevant universities in each city.
No problem. Students with overlapping interests will attend visits in both relevant tracks. The itinerary is designed to accommodate this.
1 chaperone per 5 students. With a maximum of 15 students, there will be a minimum of 3 chaperones plus an Intellete programme coordinator present at all times.
Travel insurance is not included but is strongly recommended. Intellete will provide guidance on suitable policies.
Spring Week is a student-only experience, with Intellete's chaperones supervising throughout. That said, if you're a parent who'd also like to visit these universities, we'd be glad to arrange separate private tours for you. Just let us know.
Chaperones are trained in first aid and emergency response. Parents are informed immediately of any health concern and the team coordinates any necessary medical attention.
Intellete has established relationships with leading European universities. Every university featured is selected on academic reputation, student experience, and relevance to student interest areas.
