  • Cambridge University

    University of Cambridge

    Cambridge offers three options:

    1. Study abroad at a university with links to Cambridge. The only prescriptions on choice of course are that the course is taught in the target language, and more offbeat choices are encouraged as a way to broaden the horizons.
    2. Undertake a language assistantship (NB. Placements in Russia are unavailable, and those in Italy and Latin America are heavily subscribed).
    3. Enter employment, proof of which must be submitted before the University can approve this option. Work must be in the target language and involve some intellectual or professional skill or challenge.
