Natural Sciences
Cambridge College | Ages 15 - 17
Are you looking to deepen your knowledge about life on Earth, and in doing so your understanding of physics, chemistry, and biology?
With a better understanding of the laws of the physical world around us, students are able to broaden their awareness of science in general.
The course includes two week-long science projects in which you will put your learning into action in a collaborative effort to solve global 21st century scientific issues. You will also have the opportunity to meet with experts in the sciences field and visit live, working labs as part of our Industry Experience programme.
With its history, culture and record number of Nobel Prize winners, few places can capture your imagination as much as Cambridge. Making it a perfect place to study Natural Sciences for the summer.
Broaden your understanding of natural sciences and accelerate your learning with an immersive, intellectually-stimulating course led by current practitioners in the field.
Our students gain a better understanding of what it’s like to work in and study in their field of interest thanks to the industry experience provided by the Summer Boarding Courses. This consists of stimulating lectures, talks, and active research initiatives directed by eminent professionals, frequently in contexts where your subject is applied.
Natural Science students visit London’s celebrated Centre of the Cell museum and they experience a hands-on workshop in cell biology. The workshop includes a guest speaker talk, and demonstrations on key aspects of cell biology featuring interactive props and educational technology.
Experience university-style learning from top academics in practical workshops using scientific equipment.
Preparation for your future and the chance to stand out from the competition with enhanced subject knowledge, training in core skills, and university application support.
Witness science in action through our Industry Experience Programme with visits to live working labs and workshops with experts in their place of work.
Work alongside people in industry and discuss the sciences with current professionals.

With its combination of biology, physics, and chemistry, Natural Sciences will keep students on their toes, however the teacher can adjust the level of challenge so that all students feel included in the class if they are finding it too challenging. At SBC our Natural Sciences program is designed so that students not only learn from the teacher but are also supported by each other.
A minimum of B2 is advised in order for students to fully participate in this programme and to gain all the benefits. Before the summer, your Admissions Manager will send your child(ren) an online placement test to complete. This will help us to ensure that this course is suitable for your child to participate in and benefit from.
In acknowledgement of our students’ success we perform a graduation ceremony at the end of the two weeks, where each graduate receives a certificate of completion.
Students receive a wide variety of SBC handouts created by our in-house academic team.
Although students do not need to bring notebooks or folders to class, they are best to bring their own stationery.
No required reading is necessary for participation in the course, however it would be helpful for students to review what they have learned this year in order to feel comfortable with their English.
With its good academic programme and friendly staff, we are very happy to be a member of SBC. My daughter returned with unforgettable memories from the course.
Evolve your knowledge of Natural Science, growing deeper roots for a whole ecosystem of scientific careers. Contact our friendly admissions team today and they shall take care of the rest.
