Aerospace Engineering is quite literally "rocket science!" Participants examine the disciplines most important to the industry, including aerodynamics, electronics, mechanics, operations systems, statistics, and thermodynamics. The course culminates with the replication of real design offices of aircraft and spacecraft companies. Students go through every stage in the creation of a new vehicle, including aerodynamic profiling, engine sizing, and structural design.

In Alan Turing’s alma mater, students address what will surely be one of the most dramatic features of 21st century life. The course sets out to define AI while uncovering its history – including the role Cambridge visionaries played in its development. Alongside, students are introduced to its current uses and potential: in robotics, naturally, but in almost every other facet of life and government. They discover how designers and programmers bring, or are seeking to bring, AI into play, while creating their own algorithms to solve different problems. Part of the course is devoted to addressing the ethics surrounding AI and the threat to rights inherent in overreliance on machines.

Cambridge's beauty provides students with the perfect environment in which to find inspiration, appreciate architectural history and aesthetics, and improve their design and model-making skills. They develop a portfolio of sketches before turning ideas and designs into three-dimensional models to display in the program's Arts Exhibition.

Materials fee of $75 per session.

Cambridge is the ideal observatory from which to explore fundamental questions about the universe. How did it all begin, and what is our place within the universe? What is time, and will it ever come to an end? This course takes students on a journey through space, from the infinitesimally small to the unimaginably large. It addresses topics including the Big Bang, galaxy formation, the history of our own solar system, orbital mechanics, and string theory.

Mixing economics with psychology and game theory, this course seeks to understand what drives individual economic decisions. What psychological and emotional factors induce people to buy a $5 cup of coffee? How can we explain consumers' decisions when they depart from the expectations of standard economic models? How do risk and uncertainty impact people's spending? Students investigate areas such as luxury goods, healthcare, insurance, and labor while considering how psychology affects economic decision-making.

How do business organizations start, grow, and thrive? What analytical, interpersonal, and technical skills are required to address the problems facing companies of all sizes? How can a company be successful and operate ethically? This course includes visits to local businesses and the Cambridge Business School, and covers a diverse range of topics that includes economics, finance management, information technology, marketing, law, and purchasing. It culminates in the creation of a business model.

Students compose fiction and poetry under the guidance of a published author, with Cambridge's rich literary history as their inspiration. They explore their own potential by experimenting with new forms and styles of writing. Successful poets and writers give workshops in which students learn about the creative process and the practicalities of publication. Students develop a portfolio of their best writing and collaborate to design, edit, and publish a literary magazine.

Through workshops, debates, and visits to police stations and criminal courts, students explore individual and social theories of crime, philosophies of punishment, criminal profiling, incident analysis, and basic forensic science. They consider the causes of crime, the influence of the media upon crime, and issues of race and gender within the context of the British and American criminal justice systems.

To what extent do people subconsciously take on ideas from the society in which they were raised? Are we all unwitting products of forces we did not choose? This course combines philosophy with critical theory to examine why the world is the way it is. Students call on a range of thinkers to analyze the political and societal trends that define the 21st century. They learn to interrogate information, discuss controversial topics sensitively, and construct persuasive arguments.

Students will examine both world-renowned and local examples and the findings are applied to a variety of case studies to solve mechanical, structural, and architectural problems. They complete the course by designing a model engineering project of their own.

At the University in which the world's most famous fictional spy, James Bond, studied, this course, which blends politics and history with practice, examines the methods and techniques of the world's most infamous services-Mossad, the KGB, the CIA, MI5, and MI6. Students address the future of intelligence operations, the challenges of field work, and the ethics of espionage in terms of international cooperation, competition, and conflict.

The object of this course is to introduce students to the main concepts in Game Theory, to expose them to the way in which game theory helps explain how decision-makers arrive at their decisions, and why they often fail to make the right ones. Alongside, students will be introduced to different games, from Nash's bargaining game to the Prisoner's Dilemma, and to the way in which Game Theory is applied to Economics and, increasingly, the Social Sciences, International Relations, Biology, Computing, and AI, to name but a few of the disciplines it informs.
