Pembroke-King's summer school
In 2006 King's joined forces with Pembroke College to offer places on an exciting summer school programme open to first year undergraduates at universities all over the world.
Students applying for the 2013 programme are able to choose options from a wide range of courses, covering Writing, Sciences, Economics and Finance, Business and Management, History, English Literature and Linguistics, Law, Education and Anthropology, Philosophy, History of Art, Architecture and Film, Art and International Relations. Outside class, a varied range of social and cultural activities and travel options await you.
Students attending this programme enjoy many of the facilities and benefits available to regular Cambridge students. You are strongly advised to explore the websites of King's and Pembroke and the University to get a flavour of what you will experience during a summer in Cambridge.
Accommodation for the summer school will be in student rooms used by King's and Pembroke students at other times of year, and the Hall, Library, and world-famous King's College Chapel will all be part of the student experience.
Course length: 8 weeks
Running from Sunday 30 June to Saturday 24 August 2013, this programme allows students to take three courses, each of which is focused on a lecture/seminar programme of 25 hours.
It is possible to substitute a supervision (independent study) in the student’s major area of study for one of the taught courses. The supervision system (one-on-one teaching) is one of the key strengths and advantages of the Cambridge undergraduate teaching system. Supervisions are both academically demanding and rewarding, and best for students with a significant amount of initiative and enthusiasm for the subject they intend to study.
Some courses are concentrated into four weeks (modules 1 and 2) whilst others are spread over the full eight weeks of the programme. The course takes approximately 350 students so early applications are strongly encouraged.
