Course description

At the Faculty of Science and Technology you’ll spend two weeks exploring the foundations of STEM. Physics, chemistry, biology and engineering come together here, showing how each discipline connects and how they can be applied to real challenges.

The course is built around practice as much as theory. You’ll work with data, run experiments and design solutions, sharpening both analytical and creative thinking.

Laboratory sessions, engineering projects and technology workshops give you the chance to apply concepts directly. These hands-on tasks show how scientific knowledge translates into real outcomes.

Collaboration runs through the programme. You’ll work alongside peers in group projects that mirror the way modern science works, drawing on expertise from different areas to tackle shared problems.

These hands-on experiences are designed to reinforce your understanding of scientific principles while also fostering innovation and technical proficiency.

Studying science and technology at Dukes Cambridge gives you a strong mix of knowledge and technical skill. It’s preparation for futures in research, engineering and innovation, and a step towards building ideas that matter. Whether you aspire to be a scientist, engineer, or technologist, this program will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and experience to drive innovation and make meaningful contributions to the world.
