Shaping the world: understanding the past, predicting the future
5 July – 30 July 2010
University of Cambridge
The leaders of tomorrow will need to be skilled investigators, with ability to place any investigation in context. The ability to take a global perspective on matters which shape our world requires those same future leaders to foster their ability to think beyond an immediate and narrow field of interest.
This course offers a unique
opportunity for participants to draw upon a rich reserve of knowledge, to
attend lectures across a broad range of subjects, and to draw together ideas in
a series of focused discussions. Intensive ‘supervisions’ offer the chance to
experience Cambridge
teaching at its best: Participants will
benefit immensely from the exchange of ideas both with lecturers and with their
student peers from around the globe.
