The course looks at some of the key issues facing academics today. From as wide-ranging as the Elizabethan period, to the events of World War II, and the more recent uprisings of the ‘Arab Spring’, debate focuses around challenging questions, and tutorials form a crucial part of the learning experience amongst students to encourage critical thinking and debating skills. In addition, participants conduct research on a selected historical question, culminating in an essay discussed during an Oxbridge style tutorial.

The aim of the course is on the basic principles of atomic and molecular structures, chemical bonds, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, acid-base and redox equilibrium, and catalysis. The curriculum will also enable students to delve into specific fields of interest through a group project that culminates in a presentation to the rest of the class.

The course introduces the key concepts and tools underpinning modern computer science, equipping participants with both theoretical and practical knowledge. In addition, participants will complete a project over the duration of the course, allowing them to explore a range of topics that might include social networking applications, financial industry software application, and the use of software in the medical sector.

Each step of the course introduces you to sure-fire techniques to modify your style and structure your writing, building skills, inventing narrative, and encouraging avid writers to pick up and refine new ideas in prose and verse. Tutors will offer constructive criticism and guidance on course assignments. In addition, the programme is combined with the English Literature programme, allowing students to analyse the literary devices used to create compelling pieces of writing. By the end of the course, participants will have been guided through the writing of their own novella.

In Civil Engineering, you’ll be provided both a practical and theoretical insight into the design and construction of structures such as bridges, tall buildings and other structures, dams and reservoirs, power stations, ports, and transport systems. In addition to studying academic topics related to Engineering, a competitive group project will round off the course, allow students to put their knowledge into practice by ‘engineering’ miniature civil engineering structures. A prerequisite of the course is a solid grounding in Mathematics. Preparatory work provided to participants 6 weeks before the course commences.

The programme will introduce students to concepts and ideas of organisational behaviour and the management of organisations, as well as topics of finance, strategy, marketing and leadership. By using a variety of different resources such as business articles, lectures and talks, students will develop their knowledge of the study of management and discuss together the insights gained. The classes are similar in style to the ‘Case Study Method’ used at Harvard Business School.

The Cambridge Immerse International Relations course provides a vital theoretical grounding in contemporary International Relations and Political Science and tackles key questions and debates related to the politics that continually shape our modern world. By analyzing neo-realist, neo-liberal, constructivist and post-structuralist approaches, students will be able to uncover the variety of relations between states.

Our aim is to help students develop an in-depth understanding of some basic medical science and to familiarize them with advances in the discipline. Students can expect to study topics as wide-ranging as medical biology and anatomy to ethics and philosophy. Furthermore, the course is distinctive in that it encompasses skills workshops including Interview Workshops, Personal Statement workshops and BMAT test skills workshops.

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems. By studying the works of the world’s finest philosophers – from Plato and Aristotle to Wittgenstein, Nietzsche – participants will develop a finer understanding of the workings of logic and reason, how arguments are built in order to establish conclusions, and how such conclusions can be questioned. The course introduces students to the world of analytical philosophy, providing insights into the four main subdivisions: namely logic, metaphysics, epistemology and ethics.

The course uses current events to breathe life into the study of economics. As well as learning key theories, models, and frameworks, the programme is focusing particularly on recent and current crises, including the Global Financial Crisis and Eurozone crisis; students will develop, independently, arguments for and against particular economic policies. The ‘Management’ side of the course focuses on the growth of businesses, allows students to pinpoint why and how any business can succeed or fail which is similar in style to the ‘Case Study Method’ used at Harvard Business School.

The Cambridge Immerse English Literature course combines practical analysis of language and form with a thorough grounding in the historical and cultural context of a variety of key texts. The course considers these underlying themes alongside a rigorous introduction to the features of literary language. In addition to the above, students will also tour the colleges of famous alumni from Cambridge (including Milton and Marlowe) and the various sites and scenes that have provide the inspiration for some of literature’s finest characters. The course is studied alongside participants from the Creative Writing programme.
