Irrespective of whether you are taking your first steps in higher education or progressing to mid-career postgraduate study, ICE’s aim is to form Dr James supportive communities of learning where expert teachers and adult Gazzard, students work together as peers to achieve personal and collective Director of educational goals. Continuing Education Studying at ICE is characterised by friendly groups of committed students engaging with important learning against the backdrop of the resources of one of the world’s best universities. We promote evidence- based exploration, critical enquiry and free speech in welcoming and respectful classrooms. Our discussions extend over tea breaks, cakes (lots of cake!), garden strolls, informal lunches in Madingley Hall’s dining room and globally across our virtual learning environment. ICE is a place where professional networks are formed, friendships made and learning cherished. In our Undergraduate Certificate and Diploma groups you may find students exploring a new discipline for the first time, those making their way back into education or people formalising their longstanding interest in a subject area. In our postgraduate classrooms you may encounter professionals accelerating their vocational trajectories, people changing career direction or, perhaps, students preparing to progress to doctoral- level study. This year will also see ICE deliver our first Postgraduate Apprenticeships as we continue to evolve our course portfolio to respond to the fourth industrial revolution and associated technological disruption. All of our award-bearing courses result in a recognised University of Cambridge certification. Each student at ICE will have their own story, their own motivations to study. Introverts and extroverts, scientists and artists, young and old, alumni of elite world universities and graduates from the University of Life – all are welcome at ICE and all enrich one another’s learning experience. Together we will develop academically and personally. My colleagues and I look forward to meeting you and learning alongside you as fellow members of Cambridge’s unique life-wide learning community.
