Tasters Courses

Why not enhance your experience by adding a couple of Taster Courses to your program? Click on this link for more details.

The following Taster Courses are available alongside this Course during the summer. You can add one Taster Course for each week you will be in Cambridge (i.e. for a two week course, you can add two Tasters):

Community Outreach (£150)

Reach Cambridge is proud of its excellent links with UK- based charities. Through this exciting taster, students can earn ten community outreach hours, learn valuable skills in teamwork and project management, and take part in a project that makes a real difference.

Creative Writing (£395)

During the Creative Writing taster course, students learn a range of strategies that help them develop as a writer. With activities designed to spark creativity and exercises aimed at advancing composition skills, this taster helps students to explore their full creative potential. Whether students are interested in writing fiction, poetry or articles, they will find this enriching taster to be a perfect addition to any one of our summer programs.

History (£395)

There may be no better place to look at past, present or future, than the heart of Cambridge where medieval buildings have long been paired with cutting-edge research to help drive the UK and the world onwards. Taking students out of the classroom to look at history in person as well as in theory, this taster examines where we’ve come from, in order to understand where we are going. War, politics, monarchy, discovery – the past is always within us, even in the cobbles beneath our feet!

International Espionage (£395)

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a real spy? How much truth there is in James Bond movies? What is really happening behind the scenes in international politics? This taster course gives you an insight into what real-life spies and agents do, including code-breaking, contact boxes and the various dangers of the trade. It also introduces you to some of the most (in)famous personalities in the history of espionage!

Introduction to Architecture (£395)

Cambridge is a beautiful University City, boasting 800-year-old architecture, modern structures, and everything in between. This provides an inspiring backdrop for introducing students to the study of architecture as an academic practice. From the creative and expressive to the technical and precise, this taster course provides a fascinating introduction to the way in which architects think and design. Students have the opportunity to create their own basic designs and find out more about the different career opportunities in architecture.

Introduction to Coding (£395)

Learning to code is essential for all those who wish to stay on track with the rapid technological advances of the modern world. In this taster course, students learn the basics of programming and create their own algorithms, similar to the ones behind our computers, iPhones and webpages. It’s perfect for those who have no prior experience with programming and want to learn this useful and fascinating 21st century skill!

Introduction to Economics (£395)

Which nation will be the next economic powerhouse? What is money? How do banks work? If you want to find out answers to these questions while also learning the foundational principles of economics, this taster course is ideal for you. No previous knowledge required!

Introduction to Filmmaking (£395)

Short films have become one of the basic means of communication and presentation – from vlogs made by social media in influencers to Snapchat and Instagram movies. And it has never been easier to do it from home – documentaries shot on iPhones have been known to win Oscars! Improve your filmmaking skills with this practical taster course which will allow you to learn valuable skills for filmmaking and editing.

Introduction to Robotics (£395)

Fancy becoming the next Elon Musk? Start with our Introduction to Robotics taster where you will learn the basics of electronic circuits by building them with your own hands. You will design and construct your own device, and emerge with knowledge and skills needed to begin your journey towards building your own self-driving car!

Music Composition (£395)

Have you ever wondered how lm scores and music for advertisements are developed? If so, this taster course is for you! Put your creative hat on and incline your ears in order to make your own music under the supervision of professional musicians and composers.

Philosophy & Ethics (£395)

Do you ever wonder about the big questions like what it means to be alive, or how to be good in a world as complicated as ours? Philosophers have been asking these questions for centuries and some of their suggestions may surprise you. This taster asks students to dig in deep and bring their thinking caps with them for sessions all about reality and our place in it. Based on lively, respectful debate and deep contemplation, this taster is perfect for anyone looking to challenge their assumptions and expand their mind.

Photography (£395)

Can’t help but look at the world as through a frame? Get stuck staring at each perfect beam of light? For everyone who has ever used a camera to interpret the world, or anyone who wants to, the photography taster course proves that you don’t need the most expensive tech to get that breathtaking shot. Bring along your smartphone, and head out to capture beauty, emotion, and all those thousand-word-stories waiting to be snapped in the world around you.

Pre-Hospital & Emergency Medicine (£395)

Have you always wondered what really happens inside the ER? What to do in case of an accident? How to help a person collapsing in the subway? Taught by passionate professionals with extensive experience in teaching emergency medicine, this fully practical taster course will help you to gain life- saving skills whilst having fun

Young Leaders (£395)

What does it take to be a young leader? In a world as bustling and busy as ours is today, stepping up to make a difference can be a daunting task. In the Young Leaders taster course, students explore these questions with experienced leaders in their own rights. Together, students ask the hard questions, mind-map techniques they can use to make the impact they want to see, and feel empowered to be mature, outspoken and passionate young people in the world today.

Testimonials

Reach was an amazing experience for me. It's allowed me to interact with people from all over the world, making me more of a global citizen.

Faisal, Medicine & Life Sciences, 2019

The most exciting part was just arriving here, seeing everything new and sleeping in college. Everyone is really friendly, really open, and happy!

Leo, Engineering, 2018

My favourite lecture has been 'Women in Leadership'. I think it was really interesting because it can be different from one culture to another, so it was really about making things clear about what we can do and why we should do it.

Alice, Medicine & Life Sciences, 2018

The practicals here are amazing - it's so much fun! The most exciting thing was dissecting a heart and lungs.

Savanna, Medicine & Life Sciences, 2018

I think other students should apply to Reach Cambridge as it's a great opportunity not only to learn something you're interested in, but also it's a great way to interact with other students from around the world!

Johanna, Psychology, 2018

Reach has been a great experience for my daughter, who did an "away from home" summer program for the first time ever. I saw how she gained maturity and a new-found confidence from being independent and gaining new friends in a totally different environment.

Karen, Parent, 2019

It has been a life-changing experience, in which I had the chance to do things I've never done before, meet people I've never met, and learn valuable lessons.

Caroline, Politics & International Relations, 2019
