Selwyn will be running three major summer schools this year for prospective students. We’ll be introducing year 12s to the opportunities of studying medicine at Cambridge; there’s a climate change curation project, also for year 12s; and for year 11s we’re offering a taster for arts and humanities, in which participants will get a chance to make a virtual journey through Italy.

Past summer schools have been much appreciated by the people who took part. Here are some of the testimonials:

“I am very grateful to have been given a place on this summer school. It has been an eye opening, educational and informative experience. I have gained new analysis skills as well as making new friends and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!”

“I have had an amazing experience at Selwyn College, and I would love to stay longer or return! I am very grateful to the faculty and student ambassadors for this wonderful chance to experience university life.”

“After being at this summer school I have definitely gained more confidence for my application to university. It has also given me a realistic insight to life at university and course options. I have also been able to meet some incredible people who are inspiring and have helped me throughout the week.”

There’s more information available online http://www.sel.cam.ac.uk/summer-events/ including the selection criteria and details of how to apply. Closing dates are late April/early May.
