Some visited Biotechnology and others branched into Psychology to get a…

Program 2: Summer 2018 – Day 3

What. A. Day! Our expert teachers continue to be amazed by the enthusiasm, hard work (and punctuality!!) of all their students.

Today was yet another busy day for the students here at Reach Cambridge!

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 14

Another day, another excursion for the students of Reach Cambridge! We thought we’d add some variety to proceedings today, and we did not go to London.

This has meant that we have had some great work being done…

The students from Physics and Astronomy also went on a trip to Centre for Computer History, where they played Tetris on…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 4

The morning lessons were as busy as ever, with some excitement for the engineers who got access to some of the department’s sketching boards. They were not the only class to enjoy a treat during class time as the ESL students took a trip out into town as part of their day devoted to the…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 1

Today was a huge day at Reach Cambridge! We woke up bright and early for the first group breakfasts in colleges, and the students made sure to get in good meals for the day ahead. After eating, it was time for the first morning of classes. We’re lucky at Reach to be able to offer…
