At the end of the Dukes Cambridge programme, all students receive a certificate of attendance from their College Principal at their graduation ceremony.

Intermediate (B1+) or higher English language proficiency is necessary for admission to Dukes Cambridge.

We provide students with an online test to complete prior to arriving at Dukes Cambridge summer school. The outcomes will be used to validate their suitability for the programme. If a student doesn’t score at the required level on the test, we’ll hold an academic consultation to determine the best course of action.

As safeguarding and welfare is our number one priority, we always ensure that our staff-to-student ratio remains high throughout the summer. We have a manager at each campus who is responsible for the student’s welfare, safety, and pastoral needs.

Additionally, we have a team of College Mentors who are in charge of the day-to-day care of the students, who can be contacted if students require any assistance. All employees receive Safeguarding training before the summer, and each site has designated first aiders. This ensures that students receive the absolute best care possible.

Our team of welcoming and helpful employees is on hand to assist students every day, 24/7.

The safety and well-being of students is our number one priority. We have a comprehensive Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and procedures in place to which all employees, volunteers, visitors, and contractors are obligated to adhere to.

As part of this, students are accommodated in secure and comfortable accommodations during their stay. Cambridge is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities within the United Kingdom and provides a perfect backdrop to a safe and comfortable college experience.

Dukes Cambridge is composed of dedicated and experienced College Mentors and Accommodation Officers to ensure that students have the best possible experience during their college journey. All staff are given extensive training to create an environment where all students feel safe, secure, valued, and respected whilst studying with SBC. These friendly and caring staff are always available to provide high-quality pastoral support and remain on call 24 hours per day.

During excursions and local visits, all students with parental consent are allowed free time for up to 2 hours. Students must stay in groups of at least 3, during free-time. Staff will make students aware of the designated meeting place and time, with a designated member of staff who will be given a fixed location so that in the event of needing support, they know where to go.
