UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE International Summer Programmes SUMMER PROGRAMMES FOR UNDERGRADUATES, GRADUATES AND ADULT LEARNERS Over the centuries, the University of Cambridge has helped to shape and change the world through innovative ideas and groundbreaking discoveries: 96 of its affiliates have won Nobel Prizes. The University’s International Summer Programmes (9 July–19 August 2017) offer a heady mixture of tradition and innovation, as new and returning students absorb the atmosphere of this remarkable place,

learning from some of its finest academics – and from each other. The programmes have a reputation for excellent teaching, fascinating courses, and intriguing lectures. Every year, graduates, undergraduates and other adults of all ages and backgrounds bring their learning and life experience to the classroom. There is no shortage of new ideas and opinions. Over 170 courses make up our open-access programmes: Science, Literature, Shakespeare, Creative Writing, Ancient and Classical Worlds, History, Medieval Studies and Interdisciplinary . Some students stay for all six weeks, others just for one or two. The Interdisciplinary Programme comprises three independent two- week terms, which allow for two-, four- and six-week study periods. You can focus on courses in the same discipline, or choose courses in different subject fields. The three-week English Law and Legal Methods Programme is primarily for lawyers and law students with no knowledge of the English legal system. Adding to the academic experience, you can choose to stay in one of four historic Cambridge Colleges. Each is different in character, but all offer a warm welcome and the opportunity to meet fellow students studying other subjects. Participants become familiar with Cambridge in a way that few are privileged to experience as they enjoy meals in magnificent dining halls and have time to discover a city that tourists seldom see. Long, light summer days provide opportunities to explore the beautiful Colleges, visit the many museums and art galleries, relax in a punt on the river, or share a traditional English tea in nearby Grantchester. In the evenings there are talks, concerts and ceilidhs (traditional folk dances). At weekends, you can join excursions to Shakespeare plays at Stratford-upon-Avon and the GlobeTheatre, and visit Hampton Court Palace and other heritage sites. Our Programmes offer a rich and rewarding mix of range, teaching quality, academic rigour, accessibility, people and place. It all adds up to a winning combination of innovation and tradition: the best of bothworlds. Apply online: ice.cam.ac.uk/intsummer or email: intenq@ice.cam.ac.uk
