The feedback from past attendees has always been very positive:
"It is a great opportunity to see how science applied in our daily life and the whole event is inspiring for students cross different disciplines. I would recommend this event to my fellow research students".
"It's a fantastic opportunity to expand your understanding and knowledge of all types of science whatever your own background"
"I would describe it as a great opportunity. If you are interested in all kinds of sciences, the festival of science is the place to be. Also if you are an open-minded person, you will find that you meet plenty of nice people, make new friends and spend an amazing week. (We are planning on having a reunion with a few of the bursary students.)I would recommend it to everyone who gets given this chance to take it."
"An opportunity to experience the breadth of science, rather than the depth a normal degree provides."

'Well worth it. The package includes meeting extraordinary people and gaining invaluable advice and knowledge. If offered one should not refuse the opportunity to go.'

‘A brilliant experience that allows you to see a huge variety of science and meet scientists and other like minded students’

"A really excellent scheme – it’s fantastic for students to be given the opportunity to attend such an event, - not to mention inspiring about science in general!"
