Cambridge Virtual Pre-University Program

The Pre-University Summer Program – run by our Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) and the only official Cambridge summer school – returns once again in July and August. Offered online to allow greater access regardless of where students are in the world, the programme will take place over two identical terms: Monday 4 to Friday 15 July and Monday 25 July to Friday 5 August.

The program is open to 16-18 year olds who are considering studying at a leading global university, not just Cambridge. Through taster sessions and live interaction with some of our finest academics, students will get a flavour of undergraduate study in a wide range of disciplines. This year’s themes include astronomy, evolution, international development and relations, nanobiotechnology, and sustainability.
