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. Instead we gave the students an experience quite unlike any other, and we headed to the Great British Seaside. The typical understanding of a trip to the seaside involves…

Despite it only feeling like five minutes ago since Reach Summer 2018 began, our second round of weekend excursions has begun.

Today students went to class as usual, learning about everything from radiology and anatomy in medicine, to an introduction to modernism in English literature. They then headed into town for…

Progam 1: Summer 2018 – Day 5

Today students went to class as normal, and the students from Medicine and Life sciences went across to a new classroom near Reach Hall, where they were able to perform exciting dissections and experiments! 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 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…
