UNH Cambridge Summer Program

As Cambridge filled up with friends, it acquired a magic quality. Body and spirit, reason and emotion, work and play, architecture and scenery, laughter and seriousness, life and art—these pairs which are elsewhere contrasted were there fused into one. People and books reinforced one another, intelligence joined hands with affection, speculation became a passion, and discussion was made profound by love.

E.M. Forster


Join us for the University of New Hampshire’s Summer Program in Cambridge, England, for this, our thirtieth year. Become one of the fifty-to-sixty undergraduate and graduate students who will:

  • Take two of the courses offered in English literature, writing, and history. All courses are taught by Cambridge University or University of New Hampshire professors.
  • Live in a private room at Gonville & Caius (pronounced keys) College on Trinity Street, in the heart of downtown Cambridge. Established in 1348, Caius, as it is commonly known, is the fourth-oldest of Cambridge University’s thirty-one colleges.
  • Take your morning and evening meals in a magnificent, medieval-style dining hall. On occasion, join the faculty for dinner at High Table.
  • Travel to London, Dover, Canterbury, Stratford-on-Avon, and other destinations in the U.K. on our weekly excursions.
  • Explore Cambridge, a magnificent historical city filled with stunning architecture, art, music, theatre, gardens, greens, pubs, punts, monuments and more.
  • Have tea at The Orchard in nearby Grantchester, the lovely village where, 100 years ago, Virginia Woolf, Rupert Brooke, Bertrand Russell, John Maynard Keynes, Augustus Johns and others associated with the Bloomsbury Group spent their summers studying and debating art, literature, economics, politics, and cultural norms.
  • Engage in just such conversations with students from the U.S. and, perhaps, elsewhere, who will be your classmates at Caius this summer.

For twenty-nine years the UNH Summer Program in Cambridge has provided more than 1,500 students with the opportunity to learn first-hand the truth of E.M. Forster’s observation. Cambridge is, indeed, a magical place. We invite you to discover it for yourself.
