Outcomes
The FitzEd Summer School is about developing your academic skills and experiencing the kind of cutting-edge teaching offered at Cambridge. For the duration of the programme, you will fully immerse yourself in the academic life of Cambridge and experience what it’s like to be an undergraduate student at our institution. Participation and excellence in our programme demonstrates your genuine interest and passion for your chosen subject. These are qualities that all the top universities in the world look for in prospective undergraduates.
You will also gain experience writing an individual academic essay and presentation, combining your knowledge from lectures and private study into an independent piece of research. These are skills that you will need to successfully complete any undergraduate degree, and it is never too early to start learning these essentials from experts in their fields.
Your academic course instructor will provide detailed, written feedback on all aspects of your performance in the course. Provided you attend at least 90% of the classes, write your essay and present your work, you will receive a certificate of completion. The two highest-performing students from each course will receive a certificate of excellence. The authors of the two top essays from each course will receive a top essay certificate and have their work bound in the FitzEd Summer School Journal, published on our website. You can find our previous Summer and Winter School Journals at the end of this page. Furthermore, the top two presenters across the entire programme will be able to present their research to all participants and course instructors at the closing ceremony.
