courses - IH Cambridge Juniors

Course content
Unlike our other Young Learner English programmes, this course has English lessons in both the morning and in the afternoon: 21 hours of English tuition per week by a qualified English teacher. It is an intensive course across English reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
It is not all hard work though – Intensive English classes are lively, interactive and fun. Students are encouraged to speak English at all times, and benefit from using the language with others their own age in different social situations.
Students will have 15 hours of general English lessons with the rest of the school then six additional hours focused on improving their spoken English with an exam at the end of their course.
Students also participate in sports, arts and crafts, and other activities. Aimed at practising English through fun and teamwork, the Intensive English programme proves that it is possible to work hard and still have fun!
Study trips are also a big part of the course, with one full-day and one half-day trip included every week. Examples include: Walking tour of Oxford, Punting on the River Cam, Warwick with a walking tour and trip to Warwick Castle and London, with a ride on the London Eye, a royalty and politics walking tour, and Westminster Abbey.
There are on-site evening activities organised by IH staff every night, including fashions shows, discos, film nights, and treasure hunts.

The course takes place at Murray Edwards College, a women-only constituent college of the University of Cambridge.
The core elements of the course will be delivered on the college campus, including the extracurricular activities; however, the programme also includes several trips around Cambridge and further afield.
The two-week course is aimed at 14-17-year-old students, who have a minimum B2+ level of English and have an interest in studying abroad. The course is designed to help them gain an overview of the higher education system in the UK, enable them to make intelligent decisions about universities and courses in the UK, understand the admissions process, and explore the core differences between their own education system and that of the UK.
In addition, the course is designed to develop core skills that are sought by universities and employers, such as critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, adaptability, and presentation skills – all within an international context, but with a focus on the UK education system. 
The course is designed as an international conference for students to develop their intercultural communication skills. During the two weeks of the course students, in small groups, will work on developing projects and thematic ideas, as well as attending a series of workshops and talks, given by inspiring experts in their field.
At the end of the two weeks, students will present their projects to a panel of judges and one group will be crowned champions and join the IH London Future Leaders Hall of Fame.

Future Leaders Young MBA is a taster of an MBA programme at a prestigious business school.
Students will be split into project management groups of up to five and will work together through seminars and business challenges aimed at simulating an MBA course.
Example topics include: marketing, strategic thinking, qualities of an entrepreneur, public speaking, digital strategy, and business coaching.
Just like a real MBA the course is designed to introduce topics such as strategic thinking and decision making, as well as introducing them to basic skills in business.
The course ends with presentations of the projects and an awards ceremony.
There are two full-day trips and one half-day trip as part of the course, including a walking tour of Oxford, London with a walking tour and company visit, and Cambridge with entry to King’s College, a walking tour and punting on the River Cam.

Students will study English lessons in the morning and activities conducted in English in the afternoon.
Students will study 15 hours of English lessons per week, taught by qualified teachers with extensive young learner experience. On their first day, students will have a placement test to assess their English level, they will then be placed into classes based on their level. Each class has a maximum of 15 students.
During their lessons students will learn and practise their English, while having fun, and developing other important life skills such as team-work and confidence.
Students follow our weekly themes which allow them to improve their English while learning about other subjects. These include:
›  ENVIRONMENT(OURPLANET)
This topic encourages students to analyse climate change and its impact, while encouraging them to think about their own environmental footprint.
›  WORLDCULTURE(OURWORLD)
From greetings to celebrations, festivals to music, students explore the customs and traditions which form part of each country’s history.
› NEWSANDENTERTAINMENT(OURSPACE)
In the age of 24-hour news and online streaming services, students explore both new media and more traditional forms of entertainment which will never get old!
Each afternoon students will take part in a range of activities such as art attack, tennis, visiting Cambridge city centre and more. All of these are led by our experienced Activity Leader team.
