Applications for the Cambridge – Nanjing Summer School 2025 are now open!

The programme runs from 4 August to 23 August 2025 at Selwyn College, University of Cambridge. Due to high demand, we encourage early applications, as places are limited and reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will typically receive a decision within 10 working days of submitting a complete application. 

Eligibility Criteria 

The programme is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students worldwide, as well as recent graduates. To apply, you must: 

• Be at least 18 years old by the start of the programme 
• Have a minimum GPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent) 
• Have completed at least one year of university study before the programme begins 
• Demonstrate a high level of English proficiency (see language requirements below) 

English Language Requirements 

As all courses at the Cambridge – Nanjing Summer School are taught in English, applicants must demonstrate a high level of fluency to fully engage with the academic content. 

Accepted Qualifications 

If English is not your native language or not the primary language of instruction at your university, you will need to provide evidence of one of the following qualifications: 

• IELTS: Minimum 6.5
• TOEFL iBT: Minimum 90
• CET6: Minimum 500 or CET4: Minimum 550
• Cambridge Advanced (CAE): Grade A
• Cambridge Proficiency (CPE): Grade B 

Waivers & Alternative Proof of Fluency 

If you have studied extensively in English at university level, you may not need to provide a language qualification. In such cases, we may request:

• Additional documentation confirming the medium of instruction at your institution 

We do not require proof of English proficiency from students attending universities where English is the primary language of instruction. 

How to Submit Proof of English Proficiency
