Welcome to our guide to the best summer courses taking place on campus at Hughes Hall
Founded in 1885, Hughes Hall was the first institution in Cambridge to provide higher education for women, and is now one of the most vibrant and international colleges. Set in beautiful gardens just a short walk from the city centre, it blends a welcoming, modern atmosphere with the traditions of Cambridge life, making it especially popular with students from around the world.
Students are accommodated in college residences located within or close to the main campus, providing a comfortable and convenient base for the programme.
The college has a strong reputation for food. Most meals are provided in the dining hall with a buffet service, including lunch and dinner. In addition to regular meals, the college provides formal, waiter-service dinners known as Formal Halls.
