Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 8

Due to an extremely busy weekend, the students and staff were treated to a well-deserved lie in, with lessons being pushed back to 10am. However, there were also classes in the afternoon to make up for lost time on Thursday when we had been visiting Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle, so the day was by no…

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 7

No trip to England would be complete without visiting London. Today was the first of two trips to the capital, with a chance to experience a couple of the city’s museums, as well as one of its most famous department stores.

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 4

Cambridge is a beautiful and inspiring place to live and study, but we also like to take students outside of the city and show them what else England has to offer.

Student Tim looks forward to Reach Cambridge 2016

Ever since I was a little kid growing up in a small town on the east end of Slovakia, my grandmother – a confectioner in a local candy-store and an enthusiast of literature – has been fond of telling me about universities like Cambridge described in Jeffrey Archer’s books. “Tim, you must go to Cambridge…

Student Trinity looks forward to Reach Cambridge 2016

My name is Trinity, and I am attending the Global Leadership Program in July. I am very excited about this and I am finding it hard to wait until then! The Global...

Reach Cambridge 2015: Esther’s experience

In this blog, Esther looks back at her time in Cambridge on our 2015 summer program: Most students talk about how Reach Cambridge has made them better people or more prepared for University. That’s exactly what I’ll do too. Most of this character building comes due to the fantastic amount of work put in by…
