Why Cambridge?
The prestigious University of Cambridge leads the world in science and mathematics. Past students have discovered gravity, evolution and even DNA! Like Oxford, it’s educated the best and brightest students since 1209 – and has many famous alumni, including Sir David Attenborough, Professor Stephen Hawking and actor Eddie Redmayne. Our Cambridge Summer School gives you the opportunity to walk in their footsteps, learning and making lifelong memories on campus.

Where will you stay?
Explore Colleges
When you study with us, you’ll spend your summer living at Clare College, Cambridge. The second oldest of the University’s 31 colleges, it has been educating students since the 14th century. You’ll study in the same classrooms where 125 Nobel prize winners once did; stay in real student bedrooms; wander the ancient quadrangles; dine in historic halls; and relax with new friends in the beautiful Botanic Gardens.
Live the life of a student in Cambridge
All lessons, meals, lectures and events will take place on campus at Cambridge University. We make use of the university’s world-class facilities to offer rare experiences, making sure you get the most out of your time with us – for example, our 16-18-year-old medical students can get hands-on experience using medical equipment in clinical skills sessions.
Not only will you live and study on campus at Clare College, you’ll also experience the city’s historic culture, from the beautiful King’s College Chapel to punting along the River Cam.
And after a busy two weeks of learning, you’ll celebrate all your hard work with fun parties, held in amazing campus venues. On the final Friday, we host a party with a specific theme for each age group – our students love taking part in a silent disco, dancing to a DJ set, or exploring a range of other activities.
Graduation
As the programmes draw to a close, you’ll enjoy a prestigious graduation ceremony to celebrate all of your achievements, where you’ll be presented with your certificates in a beautiful Cambridge University venue.
Excursions
Students at our Cambridge Summer School will enjoy a thrilling excursion to a nearby city. For example, 16-18-year-olds will visit London, the UK’s buzzing capital, where they can explore world-famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.
Houses of Parliament - The heart of British democracy
Buckingham Palace - The iconic home of the British Monarchy
