Program Overview
Spend your summer studying at the University of Cambridge, the alma mater of Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Goodall, to name a few. Hosted by King’s College and Pembroke College, two of the university’s 31 autonomous colleges, your summer in historic Cambridge will engage you academically and culturally.
Take course work within your field of study, or branch out and take a class in a new discipline. No matter the subject, you’ll receive direct interaction with your lecturers in small discussion-based classes. During your free time, explore The university beautiful parks, river-side restaurants, and prestigious museums in the charming city of Cambridge.
This six-week program at one of the world’s oldest universities lets you experience the unique Cambridge-style learning of small class sizes with a focus on intense classroom discussion and individual feedback and support. Choose three courses from a wide variety of disciplines including Science, Mathematics, Business, Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities.
In place of one of your courses, you can choose to develop your research and project management skills through an optional Independent Supervision based on your academic interest. Especially recommended for students intending to pursue research or graduate studies, you will meet with a Cambridge expert weekly to work on a series of research-based papers or a longer dissertation.
