To ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our students and staff, the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) has taken the difficult decision to cancel all face-to-face short courses at the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) with immediate effect until Friday, 31 July 2020 inclusive.
