University of Cambridge

In 2018 I got a scholarship to study the Chinese language for one month in Shanghai International Study University. It was my first overseas experience, it enabled me to rely on myself as well as to get a new relationship with a lot of people from a different country, and discover new and different cultures. I had a good time and I've learned a lot of things that helped me develop my knowledge and my skills.

Cambridge Summer Schools really is the most unique holiday and learning experience. To start with, Cambridge is a stunning city - groaning with history and incredibly beautiful. Then there's the opportunity to live in a Cambridge college (en-suite most definitely worth it) which tricks you into thinking you are a local. And the courses! The subjects on offer are fascinating - from medieval to modern history; philosophy and literature to Shakespeare. All depends on getting a good lecturer, but the majority, from my experience, are first class and just how you dream a Cambridge academic should be. You need no qualifications or prior learning and classes are varied in age and nationality. Lots of spare time to explore the city and the lovely pubs. So it's like combining a fab holiday with an incredible and uplifting learning experience. I've been four times and keep going back!

I am a regular. My first time in Cambridge was 2011 and it immediately became an addiction. Never in my life have I experienced anything like that. The programmes are brilliant, the lecturers are renowned in their fields, the people coming from all over the world are great! The whole package just simply broadens your horizon and there is nothing like it anywhere in the world. I have made some great friends all over the world due to Cambridge summer schools, I have learned so much with the courses there and I have had a true Cambridge experience...
