The Cambridge University is the second-oldest university of the English-speaking world (after Oxford University) with over 800 years of rich history. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious institutions of higher education in the world which produced more Nobel Prizes winners than any other institution in the world.
Cradles of Eminence
Cambridge boasts hundreds of famous alumni in the making of our modern world.

In 2023, the University of Cambridge is ranked No.2 in QS World University Rankings just behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As of 2023, ARWU ranked Cambridge the best university in Europe and third best in the world behind Harvard and Stanford.

Live and Study Like a Cambridge Undergraduate
As one of the best universities in the world, Cambridge is a great place to be a student, yet it is one of the most selective of all universities with less than 10% of applications may result in admission. Attending a summer programme at Cambridge University enables international students to live and study in the buildings and colleges of Cambridge University just like the University’s own undergraduates. This provides unique opportunities to not only gain insights and experience the magic life of Cambridge, but also get prepared.
