Reviews

Hear From Those Who’ve Transformed Their Futures
The St Edmunds Global Programme was an eye-opening journey into business and entrepreneurship. Learning from Cambridge academics and collaborating with ambitious peers challenged me to think strategically, refine my problem-solving skills, and apply design thinking to real-world challenges. The entrepreneurship module, in particular, gave me the confidence to develop and pitch business ideas, shaping my approach to future opportunities. Beyond academics, the experience of living in Cambridge was truly inspiring. I left with new skills, valuable connections, and a clear direction for my future in business.

St Edmund’s Global Programme
2023 Student
Joining the Homerton International Programme was
a game-changer for me. I wanted to challenge myself academically, improve my leadership skills, and gain
a deeper understanding of global perspectives —
and this experience exceeded my expectations. Studying with Cambridge academics and collaborating with ambitious students from around the world broadened my thinking and pushed me outside my comfort zone.
The entrepreneurship module, in particular,
helped me refine my problem-solving skills and gave me the confidence to take initiative in new opportunities. Beyond academics, immersing myself in Cambridge life was unforgettable. This programme not only expanded my knowledge but also strengthened my motivation
and direction for the future.
