Short Courses

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. Alternative arrangements are being explored and students who are due to attend courses during this time will be contacted by our Lifelong Learning Team. For more information regarding the Institute’s response, please see here.
