Executive and Professional Education
Cambridge offers a wide range of programmes and solutions in the areas of executive and professional education (EPE) to complement its traditional undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Aimed at executives, and those in more specific professional disciplines, they will help individuals and organisations to develop and grow by meeting their needs personally, strategically, and operationally.
Short & part-time courses: Institute of Continuing Education
Our Institute of Continuing Education offers short non-credit courses, residential and summer schools, and part-time, award-bearing programmes ranging from Undergraduate Certificates through to Master of Studies degrees. These are open to individuals living outside the UK, and the Institute describes what you need to consider before applying.
Visiting students
Each year, a small number of students come to Cambridge to study or undertake supervised research as part of their overseas qualification. This is usually by arrangement with a University Faculty or Department and predominantly applies to visiting postgraduate students. Some of the Cambridge Colleges consider applications from international visiting students to undertake a short course of undergraduate study.
The University also has bilaterial agreements with some international partner universities and welcomes year abroad exchange students under these arrangements. The School of Clinical Medicine accepts a limited number of students to undertake a medical elective. The University also participates in the Amgen Scholars Programme.
