International Programmes
Semester and summer study in Cambridge
Pembroke has unparalleled experience among Cambridge colleges in the design and delivery of short-term programmes for British and international students. Through the Spring Semester Programme and the Pembroke-King’s Programme, the College has created opportunities for first rate students to come to Cambridge to experience life and learning in one of the world’s great universities. The emphasis on academic rigour is carried through to our newest summer programmes, one of which is focused on Creative Writing and the other on International Security and Intelligence issues. In both cases we bring together practitioners, academics and those who aspire to be one or both.
