Global Leadership summer course in Cambridge, by Reach Cambridge.
To be a global leader requires many things: vision, compassion, ambition, determination, and grit, to start. But it also requires concrete skills to help you get from an initial idea to putting your plan (or someone else’s) into action while nurturing the community around you.
Combining active discussions about the state of the world and how we can each make a difference with key foundational skills; the Reach Cambridge Global Leadership course is equal parts practical and aspirational. Initial lessons include everything from how to study more effectively, how to wow an audience while communicating key information, how to create a persuasive argument, how to nail that first interview and more, but the course also expects students to bring their big ideas to the table. This is a challenging but stimulating and ultimately rewarding course both for students who already have a leadership vision and students with big hearts who want to make a difference but don’t know where to start.
Reach Cambridge students experience a real taste of student living in one of the world’s most famous and historic university cities. All students reside in college accommodation of one of the 31 colleges that make up the University of Cambridge. Students are accommodated in same-sex dormitories of single or shared rooms.
Taught by expert academics, practising professionals and inspirational teachers, Reach courses are stimulating, challenging and unique, exposing students to the latest innovation and research. At the end of their course, students receive a certificate of completion.
Throughout the summer students have the opportunity to discover parts of the UK outside Cambridge through fully guided trips to London, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Ely, and more. Each trip is organised around inspiring cultural activities – like walking tours of some of London’s most historic districts, taking in a play, or visiting one of the UK’s most impressive medieval castles.
