Description

With a variety of subjects on offer, the University of Cambridge International Summer Schools give you the opportunity to explore a range of topics and disciplines. A range of programme options allow for close study on specialist summer schools, or a more varied approach on our interdisciplinary programmes.

* Interdisciplinary Summer Schools
If you are looking to study a variety of subjects, International Summer School Term I and Term II are ideal for you. Term I lasts for four weeks (spanning Sessions 1 and 2) while Term II is two weeks in length and takes place during Session 3.

On each programme you choose either two or three courses from those on offer and have classroom sessions each weekday, complemented by daily lectures on a range of general topics.

* Specialist Summer Schools

If you are looking for in-depth study of a favourite subject then these programmes could be what you are looking for.

We run programmes in Literature, History, Science, Shakespeare, Medieval Studies and Ancient Empires. Most of our Specialist Summer Schools run for two weeks, Literature and Science run for four weeks and are split into two terms of two weeks.

We also have an English for Academic Purposes programme which you can combine with one of three other Summer Schools, and a 3-week IELTS Preparation course designed to prepare candidates for the IELTS examination.

In 2012 we are also running a one-week Silk Route Summer School.

You can combine programmes from different sessions to build an individual schedule that meets your needs and interests, building up study periods of two, four or six weeks. You can also study for part of a session, allowing for one, three or five week study periods.

Highlights

The Summer Schools are organised by and on behalf of the University itself. There are small seminar classes at university level, which afford sustained personal contact with subject specialists. There are plenary lectures given by senior members of the University and distinguished visitors on every programme. In addition we offer evening talks, concerts, readings and other social activities. There are weekend excursions arranged for participants and Cambridge is only 50 minutes away from London on the train. Students will have the opportunity to stay in Cambridge College accommodation but non-residential attendance is also possible.
