The Faculty of Psychology gives you two weeks to investigate how the human mind works and how behaviour is shaped. You’ll study key areas such as cognitive psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology, exploring how people think, learn and interact.
The course encourages you to question assumptions about behaviour and mental processes. You’ll examine theories, analyse case studies and look at the factors that influence personality, decision-making and relationships.
Learning is hands-on as well as theoretical. You’ll take part in experiments, group tasks and research exercises that bring psychological concepts to life. These activities build your ability to observe, test and evaluate human behaviour in different contexts.
Collaboration is central to the programme. You’ll share ideas with classmates, work in groups to test hypotheses, and receive guidance from tutors who bring academic knowledge and real examples into the classroom.
Studying psychology at Cambridge equips you with insight into the forces that shape human thought and behaviour. The programme strengthens skills that are valuable across many areas, from health and education to business and research.
Cambridge College Summer School is hosted at three distinguished Dukes Education Schools—Cardiff Sixth Form College, St Andrew’s Cambridge, and Sancton Wood—offering a premier pre-university experience for students aged 14–17.
Blending academic challenges with cultural immersion, Cambridge College provides students with the tools, inspiration, and insight to prepare for top university pathways in one of the UK’s most historic and innovative cities.
At Dukes Cambridge Summer School, students will be allocated to one of our six accommodation blocks, which are all purpose-built with modern facilities. They are located a short walk from the school, with bedrooms being either single or twin rooms. The majority of the rooms have ensuite bathrooms, with a small number of shared facilities in the smaller accommodation blocks. During free-time, students have the option of socialising in the on-site common rooms or spending time in Cambridge city centre.
Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to 剑桥 based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
