ASF presentation prepares Twickenham Academy students for a globalised world

Mark Huntington at Twickenham Academy

Twickenham Academy welcomed Mark Huntington from “A Star Future” organisation who support UK students on studying abroad. Mark gave the Sixth Formers an inspiring presentation about the benefits of studying abroad. He informed students about different countries’ higher education systems and many different Degrees in English language and how university can help them with their dream career and what they want in the future. Examples included International and European Law at The Hague University of Applied Sciences in Holland and the opportunity to complete work experience at Hague International Criminal Court, study Fashion at Istituto Marangoni – Milan, Nursing or Midwifery at Southern Cross Universityand many others.

The students learnt about other universities in countries like America, Canada, Australia, Italy, Denmark and Holland. Mark also informed students on how to apply for these courses at these universities and the fees in different countries and whether to study abroad is a viable option.

Students Feedback

"Mark was very informative, and definitely persuaded me to want to study abroad. It was worth giving up our tutor time to listen to him and learn more about how to study abroad and survive financially. "

"Mark is a very confident and engaging public speaker and was very captivating to listen to. He really gave me an insight into the possibility of studying abroad which wasn't something I had considered before but is definitely something I will now have a further look at. "
