The University of Cambridge Student Experience

The Granta Academy is offering a new way to experience both the city of Cambridge and student life at a top university

What we offer

We offer two-week summer courses for 15-18-year-olds in the most popular degree subjects at the University of Cambridge.

Perfectly placed within historic Cambridge, all courses and accommodation are held at a University of Cambridge college.

All our courses are taught by Cambridge academics, in small classes, with skills sessions and expert guidance on how to apply to a top university.

Welcome to The Granta Academy

Founded by Jessica Edwards, a University of Cambridge graduate and supervisor at Clare College, and Adam Daniel Schumacher, an entrepreneur in the city and Lord Ashcroft Business School graduate, The Granta Academy wants to share the experience of life at university in Cambridge and prepare both international and UK students to apply to top universities.

Perfectly placed within historic Cambridge, all courses and accommodation are held at a University of Cambridge college, and courses are taught by Cambridge academics.

We are driven by the shared belief that Cambridge is an extraordinary place. Our aim is to reproduce the stimulating, rigorous atmosphere of the university as faithfully as possible, giving our students the best possible insight into undergraduate life.

We can promise exceptional teachers, expert guidance and genuine support, with lasting memories of two weeks of summer spent in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Join us to start your future.
