Psychology
Cambridge College | Ages 15 - 17
At Cambridge College this summer you can gain valuable academic experience by comprehending fundamental concepts at the heart of Psychology.
With our exciting Time to Shine projects you’ll also get the chance to develop your skills in critical thinking, efficient research, and presenting, making SBC the perfect preparation for university and beyond.
By studying with classmates from all around the globe in one of the most renowned university cities in the world, you will leave Cambridge College with inspiring memories to look back on as you progress in the field of psychology.
In partnership with the Medic Portal our Psychology students will learn how Psychology can be used in clinical medical healthcare, and how psychologists can contribute to the mental health and well-being of patients.
At the end of each week, Cambridge College students come together as a learning community and take part in a group presentation we call Time to Shine. These projects are a highlight of the week’s work and give students an opportunity to showcase their learning and development throughout the programme. The project provides them with the opportunity to gain valuable experience practising their collaboration, communication and presentation skills in front of a larger audience.
Time to Shine Project – Psychology in Practice: Experimental Psychology and Neurodiversity
Do colours affect the way we think? What is the limit of short-term memory? Does music improve our ability to study? Do people experience phenomena in exactly the same way? In Cambridge College’s Psychology Time to Shine project, students will devise and develop fun and engaging behavioural psychological experiments which will reveal how the mind can be influenced.

When a student arrives, an SBC staff member wearing a bright yellow t-shirt will be waiting to greet her/him and accompany them to our Welcome Club. At our Airport Welcome Club, she/he will have the chance to meet other students arriving, have some light refreshments and relax. After a little rest, students will be accompanied by students and SBC staff to board the coach and be taken directly to the school in a private coach.
The Shared Transfer Service can be used by students using the following flight and train times:
Flight lands on arrival day: 06:00-17:00
Flight take-off time on departure day: 08:00-18:00
The times outlined above also apply to students arriving and departing from Kings Cross St. Pancras train station.
If you book a flight outside of these times or to/from another UK airport, we can look at sending a staff member in a taxi to collect or drop off your child, but it will cost more than the Shared Transfer Service. Quotes are available upon request.
If you book a train or flight outside of these times or from another London airport, please contact your Admissions Manager for a private taxi quote. Please note this will cost more than our Shared Transfer Service from Heathrow, Kings Cross St. Pancras (& Gatwick for Earlscliffe students)
