For Summer 2018, we are delighted to welcome some new Add-Ons to the mix, as well as some old favourites. Whether you’re pursuing long-held interests or seeking new academic adventures, why not consider supplementing one of our courses with an Add-On (or two!)?

Community Outreach

Reach Cambridge is proud of its excellent links with UK based charities. Through this exciting Add-On you could earn 10 Community Outreach hours, learn valuable skills in teamwork and project management, and take part in a project that really makes a difference. Reach Cambridge works with SABRE, a charity that helps build schools for children in rural Ghana. This Add-On takes place outside of class time across the course.

Creative Writing

During the Creative Writing Add-On, students will learn a range of strategies that can help them develop as a writer. With activities designed to spark creativity and exercises aimed at advancing composition skills, this Add-On will help students to explore their full creative potential. Whether interested in writing fiction, poetry or articles, this short, intensive course is a perfect addition to any one of our summer programs.

Pre-Hospital and Emergency Medicine

Have you always wondered what really happens inside the ER? What to do in case of an accident? How to help a person collapsing in a subway? Discover your inner Dr House in our Pre-Hospital and Emergency Medicine add-on!

In a 6 hour course, you will learn how to respond and provide medical assistance before the arrival of professional help, what to do in case of an emergency and get your hands on all the necessary medical equipment seen in movies. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

extended primary survey (airways, intubation, circulation, etc.)
secondary survey
basic observations
oxygen therapy
immobilization
moving and handling with carrying chairs and scoop stretchers
and more!

Taught by passionate professionals with extensive experience in teaching emergency medicine, this fully hands-on add-on will help you to gain life-saving skills while having fun!

Introduction to Architecture

There is no place better to be introduced to architecture than in the grand, historic surroundings of Cambridge and its 800 year old university.

Everything in the built environment contains architectural ideas and design: from doorways to skyscrapers. This course will provide a fascinating introduction to the way that architects think and design, as well as providing students with greater insight into what makes Cambridge’s most iconic buildings such stunning examples of fine architecture. This short course touches upon both the creative, expressive side, and precise, technical side of architecture. It will also get students thinking about the profound influence that space plays in shaping human thought, emotion and action.

Students will get the chance to create their own basic designs and will find out more about the different career opportunities in architecture.

This Add-On will take place outside of normal class time, and will combine lectures with hands-on activities.

Architecture Add-On: drawing workshop

University Advance

One reason why you might join us in Cambridge is an interest in applying to university in one of the cities we visit. The University Advance Add-On will involve one day trip, either to the colleges of Oxford or to London universities (for example University College London, Imperial College, and the London School of Economics). Reach Cambridge will organise an accompanied tour of the university buildings and facilities, giving you the opportunity to explore your prospective campuses! Please note that this Add-On will require you to miss one full day of classes.

Young Leaders

The Young Leaders Add-On covers all of the life skills that are essential at university and beyond. In 6 hours spread over several afternoons, the Young Leaders Add-On covers topics such as leadership skills, presentation skills, academic writing skills and university learning strategies. Taught by specialists in the field, the young leaders add-on is for many students a highlight of their Reach Cambridge experience.
