Education

Our rigorous and exciting academic programmes are divided into three different teaching formats, which in combination provide a unique and relaistic insight into studying at The University of Cambridge.

Cambridge SciSearch passionately belives in the power of a STEM-based education, and in alignment with this principle, offers the following range of courses. All of our courses are based on subject material which constitutes a core part of the academic curriculum currently taught to first-year undergraduate science students at The University of Cambridge.

Research

Excellent laboratory and computer suite facilities will provide the perfect setting for students to expand on topics covered in lectures and supervisions. A variety of techniques are used by students to enhance practical skills alongside providing context to the academic syllabus.Upon completion of mandatory safety talks, all students will be guided through a series of tasks in a style similar to undergraduate science degrees. This provides the perfect platform for practical classes at the university, alongside exploring the possibility of a future career in scientific research.
