Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)
Our weekend courses are open to participants over the age of 18 and courses are taught at approximately first-year undergraduate level. No academic qualifications are required and most courses are suitable for students who are new to the subject. Please ensure that you complete any required reading listed in your course materials before the course starts to enable you to fully participate and get the maximum enjoyment out of your course.
If your first language is not English, you will need to satisfy yourself that you have the required near-native command of the language to get the maximum benefit from studying with us.
We make every effort both to anticipate and to make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of students with support requirements including those with unseen disabilities, including mental health conditions, and specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. Please ensure you let us know about any support requirements at the time of booking so that we can offer you the support and advice you require before and during your course(s).
If your preferred course is full at the time of booking, you can add yourself to a waiting list. You will be notified, by email, if a place becomes available. Please note course changes cannot be made once a course has started.
Whilst every effort is made to avoid changes to our programme, the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) reserves the right to withdraw any course. In such circumstances, we will endeavour to provide a substitute of equal standing. Should a course have to be cancelled due to very low enrolment, or last-minute unforeseen circumstances, any participant enrolled on that course will be contacted immediately, and, if possible, an alternative course place arranged. If an alternative course cannot be provided, participants will be refunded any payments already made.
Except in the case of cancellation by ICE, course places cannot be transferred to other people or to an alternative weekend. If you are no longer able to take up your place please contact intenq@ice.cam.ac.uk
To cancel a course booking, you must inform us by emailing intenq@ice.cam.ac.uk and clearly state your intention to cancel your booking. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning exercising the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
You may cancel your course booking at any time. However, should you cancel for any reason ((including illness or changes in plans) after the 14-day cancellation period has expired, the standard ICE course cancellation policy (as specified below) will apply. Please be aware that in these circumstances you would not be entitled to a refund, or to a course transfer.
Please note: Cancellations due to an unsuccessful visa application are not eligible for a refund.
