The Center emphasized the importance of the program, held under the patronage of Kuwait University President Dr. Dina Al-Milhim, in introducing participating students to university life and academic majors in the fields of medicine, engineering, and petroleum through scientific and practical experiences that contributed to developing their skills and enabling them to gain close insight into the nature of these majors, thereby supporting their future academic and career orientations.

It was clarified that the program offered a comprehensive experience combining specialized lectures, practical workshops, hands-on experiments, field visits, and direct interaction with academics and specialists. The Center noted that students participated in activities that allowed them to closely examine the nature of university studies, the requirements of various majors, educational opportunities, scholarships, and labor market prospects, thereby enhancing their readiness for university life.

Regarding the medical track, the program included experiences such as exploring epidemiology, writing scientific research, training in anatomy laboratories, workshops on using medical equipment, handling emergency cases, and visits to medical libraries and hospitals. The medical track also featured training in laparoscopic surgery, simulation-based surgery, laboratory demonstrations, and meetings with practicing physicians, providing students with practical exposure to the nature of study and practice in the medical field.
