Plenary and general lectures are given by senior members of the University and distinguished visiting speakers. Prior to departure, the Cambridge Program will provide recommended reading lists, a course syllabus, and suggested essay topics for courses selected. The University of Cambridge Board of Continuing Education directs the summer school programs. All courses are taught by University of Cambridge faculty or professors from other British universities.
