Apply online at www.ice.cam.ac.uk/intsummer As one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of Cambridge has shaped and changed the world through visionary ideas and ground-breaking discoveries.

Cambridge is a city of cyclists, beautiful Colleges, churches, chapels, courtyards and museums. Yet these historic buildings are in daily use by people solving problems to shape the future, and our museums serve both as treasure houses and as valuable resources for research and learning. Renowned for its teaching excellence, the University is a vibrant, bustling place where curiosity, influence and illumination are everyday occurrences. Our Summer Programmes have been a part of the University since 1923.

In a rapidly-changing world, there is an ever greater need for a broader outlook and understanding of other communities. Increasing cross-cultural awareness and the seeds of global citizenship are just two of the many additional benefits of studying with us. Every year our students tell us how the University's Summer Programmes have helped them to broaden their perspectives, make new connections and foster friendships with people from across the globe.

Short as they are, our inspirational programmes can be life-changing! Join us and see for yourself.

A full printed prospectus will only be sent to you if you specifically request one. Encouraging people to go online to access full details of programmes and courses reduces our print and mailing costs, but most importantly, reduces our carbon footprint.
