Introduction to Architecture

13-15 years old

(at Cambridge/Oxford)

This course for students aged 13 to 15 is designed to expand their general knowledge of architecture in an enjoyable, interactive environment. The course will help students decide whether or not architecture is a subject they might want to pursue at university and as a career. Getting an idea of their long-term study plans at this early stage in their education is helpful, as it means students can tailor their subject choices over several years to give you the best chance of a successful application.

By the end of the course, students will have:

Spent over 40 hours being introduced to the fascinating subject of architecture
Ventured out on a walking tour to explore the many architectural delights of the city and put their newfound skills into practice
Produced a variety of architectural drawings they can add to their personal portfolio
Created a design portfolio for a team competition
Improved skills such as working in a team with other students, communicating effectively and thinking spatially.

I met many different people during my first two weeks at Cambridge, of different cultures and backgrounds while participating in the Medical camp. That was last year, and I wanted to return again this summer because I took away so much from my last summer program. This is the first time Oxford has a niche program specifically focused on Vet science, and it makes me want to return even more! From last year, I took away a lot of new skills and understanding in the medical field, and I hope this year, I can find a specific discipline that truly inspire me for a lifelong career in the future.

It is the perfect place for me to go, I always have a passion for English culture and the experiences are very different than those back home. I decided to return because I fell in love with Oxford, the gardens, the old buildings, the good books, the teachers, the friends i made, it has really broaden my horizon.

Last year, I took the STEM program and this year, I want to try something different, more specialized because i am older now. I have decided to join the Vet science program because I do notice the treatment of animals are a little bit different in Indonesia, and we really have a shortage of vets to take care of all the animals. Perhaps this summer camp will inspire me and direct me in the right path for my future career.

Mifta, Indonesia

I want to be a cinematographer, which is the person who controls everything that goes on behind the camera. That's the program I took at Oxford summer camp last year, and I took away so much during my gap year. Back home in New Jersey, I also volunteer at an animal shelter, which is another passion of mine. This is my first year in University and I am still unsure of which route to follow. Perhaps after enrolling in the new summer program of Vet science offered at the University of Cambridge, it will give me a more clear picture of being a cinematographer or a Veterinary.
