Reach Cambridge International Summer Courses

Reach Cambridge was by far the most wonderful, interesting and inspiring experience I have ever done: it all started as an opportunity to learn about new things in the science field, but in the end it also gave me a taste of what studying at Cambridge University looks like and allowed me to get to know new incredible people from all over the world. I attended the STEM course, and as someone who wanted to clear their mind about college decisions by getting a taste of each of the major scientific disciplines, this was undoubtedly the best choice I could make. What I liked the most about this course is that it allowed me to change classes and teachers every few days, which gave me the opportunity of knowing new incredible people even from other colleges while also forging strong friendships with my actual STEM classmates. I also found experiencing very different teaching and learning styles extremely useful for my future. But what I enjoyed most other than the STEM course were the activities the amazing Reach Cambridge staff organised: from postcard making to t-shirt panting, from punting on the river to a super fun graduation party at the end of the program, there was absolutely no time to get bored! Weekends were also incredibly busy and fun: we got to visit Hampton Court Palace and to attend an original Shakespeare play in the actual Globe theatre in London! So overall, I can say I would definitely go back to Reach for a second summer experience, and I would absolutely recommend other people my age to try it!

Reach Cambridge was a great experience for me because I could meet many people from all around the world and make lots of new friends. Living in one of the colleges of Cambridge and taking academically orientated classes was also good to experience and prepare for university life.

Law, It was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life and there is no doubt that it is a really important memory for me. I had the chance to learn about law, a law completely different compared to my country’s. I had the chance to actually visit multiple courts and observe cases. I had the chance to practice law myself, either in the classroom or the court. I met so many people, from all over the world, who I will never ever forget. Even if I met them 2 weeks ago or maybe less, they really feel like a family to me. If I had the chance I would do all over again!
