Shaping the World: Understanding the Past, Predicting the Future
Hosted by the University of Cambridge
10 July – 6 August, 2011
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 program 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.

Testimonials
“The course was broad yet deep, and allowed for
self-exploration. It was exactly what I
wanted. The variety of lectures was
greatly appreciated as it really allowed me to expose myself to things I never
thought would interest me. Now, I have
more interests to maintain and this makes life more fulfilling!”
-Loh Hanyou, 2010 participant from the National University of Singapore
“The supervisions were brilliant, and they definitely opened
my mind. Our supervisor was very
intense, but it was a great challenge to be questioned intently.”
-Anna Dunkley, 2010 participant from the Australia National University
