Course Summary
Not all computers are always speaking the same language and this course will cover a range of programming principles, while developing your understanding of how they structure our world. This course encourages independent thinking and critical analysis of exactly how and why code exists and what changes this has made to the way we think.

Our expert team will assign you to one of the prestigious Cambridge colleges where our Cambridge Summer Schools are hosted. Additionally, common spaces are available at all sites, providing you with a place to socialise and relax.
Tuition
Learn the Oxford way with tutorial-style teaching. Your expert tutor will foster self-directed learning and critical thinking through interactive seminars in small groups (no bigger than 8). During your course, you will complete two pieces of independent work (essays or problem sheets), which your tutor will then evaluate in either a 1:1 or 2:1 tutorial. Tutorials will provide you with the opportunity to discuss your work and feedback with your tutor and learn new perspectives from your classmates. On completion of the course, you'll receive a certificate and letter of recommendation from your tutor.
