The Cambridge Tradition at Jesus College, University of Cambridge

Each student takes one Major course for the length of the session and keeps it to the end. The twenty-four choices include: Aerospace Engineering, Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Behavioral Economics, Business Management, Creative Writing, Criminology, Engineering, Game Theory: The Science of Strategy, Genetics, Global Business, International Relations, Law, Leadership, Marketing, Medicine, Medicine and the Brain, Philosophy in the 21st century, Psychology, Security and Intelligence Studies, Sports Medicine, The World Wars, Zoology and Conservation. Classes are small, meet every morning and on three afternoons a week, and are led by university teachers and professionals working in the field.

The fee covers accommodation at Jesus College, classroom instruction, workshops, field trips, breakfast and supper, airport transfer and every activity the program organises. Lunch, airfare and personal spending are not included. The fee rises for enrolments made later in the booking year, and the two-week sessions can be combined into one four-week stay at a combined rate.

Students live at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, in rooms that are occupied by undergraduates during the university year. They are housed in singles or doubles, and a private bathroom can be requested for a fee on a first-come, first-served basis.

Breakfast and dinner are served in the residence dining hall and are part of the fee. Breakfast is primarily continental — cereal, yogurt, fruit, toast, coffee and tea; dinner offers several options including a vegetarian dish and a salad bar. Special dinners are held regularly and the programme ends with a formal banquet. Lunch is the student's own responsibility and can be bought from a college snack bar or the shops near the residence.

Every class is built to use Cambridge itself as a teaching tool, and outside class the Cultural Enrichment programme offers tours of sights such as King's and Trinity, a variety of sports including a lawn-tennis tournament, local Shakespeare productions, talent shows, a Cambridge United football match and field trips to the Duxford Air Show and to London.

Students have access to common areas within the residences and to a range of sporting and educational facilities — gyms, basketball courts, tennis courts and pitches. Computers are provided for every programme, so students have daily access to email, and programme staff maintain message boards and distribute mail each day.

The programme places secondary-school students inside a working Cambridge college: they live in rooms undergraduates use during the year, study one subject in depth with university teachers, and spend afternoons and evenings in a structured cultural programme alongside students from many countries.
