Pembroke Cambridge International Programmes

Hey guys, PAs here 💃✨️

We have had so much fun arranging events for you and look forward to holding more!

Monday: We had a treasure hunt where you had to take photos with famous landmarks all over Cambridge. The winners won tokens which can be redeemed for a scoop at Jack's Gelato.

Tuesday and Wednesday: Punting and Croquet, Cambridge classics that we run weekly.

Thursday: Bracelet making to celebrate friendship day!

If you have any suggestions for activites, come see us at the Helpdesk, and we can look into it!

Have a lovely weekend! ☺️

Looking for places to get fun drinks in Cambridge; look no further!

Blank Street is a popular chain well known for its matcha. 🍵

Hotel Chocolat makes delightful hot chocolate and other chocolately treats. 🍫☕️

Bould Brothers Coffee is renowened for its coffee, with its distinct developed aroma and quite distinct pastries.

Pages is also another spot for really nice coffee, with more traditional pastries you'd expect. 🥐🍪

Heytea and Heartea Cherry both do a lovely range of bubble tea, milk and fruit teas! 😋

It's graduation day at Pembroke!
Before embarking to Senate House, where the historic ceremony takes places, the praelector advises the students on how to bow to the vice-chancellor who bestows their degree.

At Cambridge, the colourful capes signify the degree:
Fluffy white hoods: BA
Dark green: MBA
Light blue: MPhil
Hot pink: MB/BChir
Red: Masters/ Doctors
And more!

If you are out in town today, feel free to congratulate them 🎉🎉🎉

Hey guys, PAs here! ✨️💃

Just a little reminder, the PA helpdesk is open Monday to Friday 08:30-13:00, and 13:45-18:15. Please come to us with any questions, concerns or just for a chat!

All of the posters are designed by us! Please feel free to admire our handiwork. ✏️🎨

Cafe 84 is open with food and drink (like the peach tea 🤤), do check out the study room just opposite it as well!

Yesterday, The World Cup made an appearance in the first Plenary Lecture of the summer, delivered by our College Master, Professor Polly Blakesley, inside the Auditorium of our Dolby Quarter.

Her presentation, titled ‘Cultural Connectivity in a Fractured World’, explored how cultural engagement in unfamiliar places can lead to energising challenges and unexpected professional paths. 🎓

This year also marks the beginning of Professor Blakesley’s involvement with the Pembroke Summer Programme since her appointment as Master of Pembroke in October 2025!
