"Empowering young minds to lead, create, and shape the future."
This programme is designed to help students develop the essential skills needed for the future world of work.
Drawing on the expertise and entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Cambridge Judge Entrepreneurship Centre, the programme builds capabilities in analytical thinking, creativity, leadership, and teamwork.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries and education, students explore how technology can support their learning and career goals. Through hands-on activities and real-world challenges, they use curated AI tools to strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Through interactive workshops, lectures, and team projects, students experience the entrepreneurial process—from generating ideas to presenting solutions. The programme helps them gain confidence, communication skills, and an innovative mindset, preparing them for university, future careers, or launching their own ventures.

Memorial Court is just across the river from the central Old Court. From second year onwards, students have the option to live at Castle Court, Clare's undergraduate accommodation in Castle Street and Chesterton Lane.
