Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)

 

In the summer of 2025, you could become part of our vibrant, international community of adult learners, on the University of Cambridge’s official International Summer Programme. 

You will have the opportunity to combine courses from a wide range of subjects and stay in a historic Cambridge College. You can attend for one, two, three or four weeks and follow one of our study streams to focus on a particular subject area or pick courses in different fields to build your own multi-disciplinary programme.  

Our diverse community of learners is one of the many reasons that the programme is so enriching. Last summer we welcomed students from over 65 different countries, with ages ranging from 18-80+. We spoke to three previous students to hear about their experience on the International Summer Programme.  

Georgia Hargreaves shares: “I enjoyed my week so much, it was highly beneficial to me and my writing career. I met some amazing likeminded friends (from all over the world) who I have kept in touch with, and we will hopefully meet up again in the future and maybe even attend the programme together. I am already looking forward to returning next year.” 

Georgia is one of many students that hopes to return to the International Summer Programme. With a variety of courses and pathways to choose from, there is always something new to learn. 

Outside of classes, there are plenty of opportunities to partake in student dinners, explore Cambridge and socialise with your fellow learners. 

Sarah Kimball says: “Everything is organised and easy to follow. My classes were interesting, and I enjoyed all my professors. One part that surprised me was how much I liked the formal Friday dinners. Both the Cambridge Student Assistants and some Course Directors attended the dinner both weeks. There was truly never one time where I thought, "I wish they had done this differently. Everything was beyond my expectations.” 

Ilse Ammerlaan, a returning student, says: “It was an incredibly enriching experience that has expanded my horizons in ways I never anticipated. I’ve met many great people from all over the world and thoroughly enjoyed spending my summer in the beautiful city of Cambridge. I’m looking forward to returning next year for the third time!”
