"Helen has come home absolutely buzzing with excitement. You have genuinely inspired her with your knowledge and enthusiasm and the 'light bulb' has been well and truly switched 'on'. I honestly think that she has been moved and affected by what she has seen in a way I could not hope to have inspired. What a terrific gift you all must have - we are so grateful to you. So nice for a parent who has been trying for years to transmit the sort of excitement about art which you have with no apparent result, maybe some of it rubbed off but all credit to AHA."

Anne Lever, mother of Helen, Summer 2005

Uni and career paths

This course is bundles of fun, but is also deeply educational. The subjects covered over the six weeks are far reaching; History, Theology, Classics, Philosophy, Engineering, Economics, Politics and even a spot of Maths! After this course you’ll be able to discuss the implications of important events in European history, debate the merits of Michelangelo versus those of Bernini and spot a Caravaggio at 20 paces! Being able to spot a Caravaggio at 20 paces may not be something that will specifically aid you in your future career or degree, but the skills, processes and knowledge required to do so will help you in a general academic sense as well as in careers such as Law, Finance, Advertising, Architecture, Journalism and many more.
