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…

In this blog, Kiara looks back at her time in Cambridge on our 2015 summer program: Spending three weeks living in Cambridge with Reach was undoubtedly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had, and one that even months on I’m still reeling from. First and foremost, Cambridge is an unbelievably beautiful historical city….

Student Gerald looks forward to Reach Cambridge summer school 2015

I am delighted to be attending the Reach Cambridge Program in July.

Singapore Chinese Girls’ School’s tailor-made Media & Philosophy course December 2014

Students of our summer programs enjoy the sunshine and flowers of the warmer months, but Cambridge is equally beautiful in the colder seasons. We were delighted to welcome Singapore Chinese Girls’ School to a winter wonderland for their tailor-made Media & Philosophy course in December. With just a week in the UK, the group made…

The River Cam

It is difficult to think of Cambridge without picturing the River Cam – images of the colleges across the Backs, of students punting along the water, or rowers practicing at high speed are all immediately recognizable as part of the Cambridge experience. The Cam is a special river, not least because, unusually, it is named…

Confessions of a Dance Instructor: My Experience preparing for the Talent Show at Reach When we’d first heard that we’d all be getting a chance to put up a performance over the course of the REACH Cambridge program, most of my schoolmates had grimaced, a definite look of resignation on their faces. Some had blanched…

Day 19: The Bronte Parsonage Museum from a student’s perspective, Hwa Chong Institution, Singapore

Bacon and eggs again. Later, an olde house upon a recluse hillside a galaxy away. Well, at least the air is warm with the glorious blaze of the sun. Across the globe however, the same flame-ball never fails to set alight my country Singapore. Seems like today is a miraculous, even mix of invisible snow…

Day 18: Psychology student from Catholic Junior College, Singapore

I wanted to attend the psychology course provided by REACH Cambridge because psychology as a career path has been something I’ve been toying around with in my head for quite a while, even though I knew close to nothing about it. In fact, it might have been my utter ignorance of the field which drove…
