"My tutor at Atlas Summer Courses was really insightful and helped us ease into the subject. We had many debates on our views regarding certain philosophical debates such as 'Do we really have Knowledge?' The best part of the summer at Atlas Summer Courses was that we were in a small class, about 3 of us, so everyone was included in the discussions, and nobody was left out."

"Atlas Summer Courses offered what I was looking for. I wanted to study two specific subjects; I also wanted to experience a different teaching method; and I was also looking for that balance between social and academic activities at the summer programme."
