New courses for 2012-13
This year we’re offering a number of new qualifications: Undergraduate Diplomas in Coaching and in English Literature, Advanced Diplomas in Philosophy and in Ecological Monitoring and Conservation (subject to approval), and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education. We’re also developing an Undergraduate Certificate and MSt in Creative Writing and a Diploma in Careers Leadership which we expect to offer in 2013-14.
Our Undergraduate Certificates and Diplomas continue to be offered on a non-modular basis, following a successful trial last year. Students will once again be provided with a University of Cambridge card for a full year, giving access to a wide range of University facilities, services and concessions. If you are part-way through a modular programme, you will have one further year from the start of 2012-13 to complete the modules you need to gain a qualification.
Advanced Diplomas now taught over two years
As of 2012, our Undergraduate Advanced Diplomas will be taught over two years rather than one, making it easier for students to combine study with work and family commitments. There will be two intakes of students: one in November and one in February.
Financial support: bursaries and loans
If you are new to higher education, new to ICE, or if you’re a state-funded teacher, you could be eligible for an ICE Bursary.

You will also be able to pay your fees in instalments, and this year for the first time you may have access to part-time student loans if you’re studying for your first university qualification.
