It’s academic

The programme reflects the traditional Cambridge supervisions at the core the Fitzwilliam undergraduate courses. It will help you develop your academic skills through lectures and challenging small-group problem-solving sessions. No more than 15 participants will be enrolled in each course to ensure that you make the very most out of your time. You will be offered a minimum of 40h of tuition across the 2-week programme. In addition to this you will be expected to spend several hours on problem-solving in preparation for your supervision. You will also need to work a minimum of 8h on your research project.

It’s cultural

Besides the academic component of the programme, you will have the opportunity to explore Cambridge, visit famous landmarks and museums in the city and go punting on the River Cam. Furthermore, over the weekend we will take you on an excursion to explore London! 

…and it’s fun!

The many social activities will give you a fantastic opportunity to deepen your new friendships with like-minded people from around the world. Forming these new bonds with others from different cultural backgrounds will improve your ability to study and live in a multicultural environment such as Cambridge.
