Royale Pre College Medicine and Psychology Program for Young Learners at Cambridge University

Your Cambridge summer school at the University of Cambridge is hosted in historic residential colleges of the university, where you will experience authentic undergraduate life. Sleep in student bedrooms set in centuries-old quadrangles, socialise in vibrant student common rooms, and relax in glorious college gardens. Take your place in vaulted halls where students have dined for over eight centuries. Learn in lecture theatres and laboratories where groundbreaking discoveries have been made, and study in the classrooms where 121 Nobel prize winners took their first academic steps. It’s the ideal place to develop the key life skills crucial for future success. Meals Breakfast and dinner are included in the course fees, but lunch is included only for students under 16. All meals offer a vegetarian option (which must be booked in advance). We are not always able to provide special Kosher or Halal food as a dining option; students with these dietary requirements will sometimes be offered the vegetarian option, so you must let us know in advance what foods you cannot eat. All medical dietary requirements such as lactose intolerance and any food allergies must be reported to us at least 60 days in advance of your course start date so that we can ensure you receive the correct meals. Pocket Money You should bring enough money with you to cover the cost of any snacks, drinks or souvenirs you may wish to purchase. Prices vary depending on where you shop, so it's a good idea to plan your budget in advance. If you plan on doing a lot of shopping, you may need to budget slightly more. £80 Weekly

Our transfer service gives parents and students peace of mind when they arrive in the UK or USA for their course.

Modes of Transport

Journeys made as part of the Oxford Royale Transfer Service in 2023 will be delivered using a variety of modes of transport. The mode of transport could be one of: a. Private (individual) taxi journey b. Shared taxi journey c. Minibus d. Coach The mode of transport utilised for each student’s transfer will be determined closer to the summer school, and will be based on factors including the number of Oxford Royale students who have booked transfers who are arriving on the same flight, or arriving at the same airport/terminal at the same time, and studying in the same location. It is not possible to request a specific mode of transport.
