Welcome to Cambridge!

The sun was shining as we welcomed our new PACE students to .hall this afternoon.

From collecting student cards, meeting academics and new peers, to exploring the beautiful gardens and enjoying a traditional afternoon tea, it was a fantastic day and a wonderful start to the year.

To all our new students: we wish you the very best of luck with your studies. We can’t wait to see all that you achieve during your time with us.

Here’s to new friendships, new experiences and an exciting year ahead! ✨

As we come to the end of another wonderful four weeks of our International Summer Programme, we're taking a moment to reflect on everything our students have achieved.

Together, participants from around the world have expanded their knowledge, shared ideas, created lasting memories, and built friendships that will continue long after the programme ends. Thank you to everyone who was part of this year's experience.

If you'd like to join us next year, applications for our 2027 Programme open in December.

Not everyone's path to higher education looks the same - and that's okay!

A recent applicant told us:

"As someone with ADHD, I have discovered that I thrive through independent, flexible learning rather than a traditional classroom environment. Online study will allow me to strive for academic excellence on my own terms while balancing work and gaining practical experience." - Certificate in Strategic Business and Management applicant

Our Undergraduate Certificates are designed for flexible, part-time study - because there's more than one way to achieve your goals.

Last week, we were delighted to welcome scholars from DFN Charitable Foundation to University of Cambridge for the inaugural Disabled Leaders Programme.

Delivered by University of Cambridge Professional and Continuing Education in partnership with DFN Charitable Foundation and the Snowdon Trust, the programme brought together talented young disabled people in the early stages of their careers for a week of lectures, talks, coaching and practical workshops.

Participants had the opportunity to develop leadership skills, build new networks and learn from academics, business leaders, entrepreneurs and disability advocates from across Cambridge and beyond.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this first-of-its-kind programme at the University of Cambridge such a success.
