Reviews
Our Alumni says

Being at Cambridge was an experience like no other. I chose to attend this programme because I wanted to develop my abilities in coding and see whether I could handle the challenges of computer science. My favourite part of the lessons was being able to discuss different ways to solve problems in code and be able to look at a way to fix an error from a different perspective. I really enjoyed being able to work on mini coding projects along the way too. Learning in-depth about a subject and then having to apply that knowledge was the most beneficial aspect of the programme. I had the responsibility of producing a piece of work and that really helped me to collate all the notes I had made and really consolidate everything I had learnt.
