Summer programmes have been held at the University of Cambridge since the end of
the 19th century, and the first specialised course of study for overseas visitors was held
in 1923. Applicants are undergraduate and graduate students seeking credit towards
studies at their home institutions. Teachers and faculty also attend, recognising an
opportunity to refresh and develop their own professional knowledge and expertise.
Eight different Summer Schools offered
by the University of Cambridge. You can choose to study for two, three or four weeks
by attending one Summer School, or you may prefer to extend your studies in Cambridge to
five or six weeks by combining two Summer Schools.
