Who can apply?
This programme is primarily aimed at current University of Cambridge and LMU students. Small bursaries towards the tuition fees may be available for some Cambridge and LMU students applying for the full four weeks of the programme. If space is available, there may be some places for students studying at other universities worldwide, eg at IARU member institutions, who can demonstrate their suitability for the programme. Interested parties who are not current students may also apply.
All teaching at both sites is in English. (See language requirements below.)
Transcript
As part of the application process, all students must submit the most recent transcript of study via PDF upload, which includes their current course information (institution, subject and degree year – 1st, 2nd, final year, etc.) and a motivation statement, giving the reasons why they would like to participate.
