Our campuses at Cambridge and Yale offer the perfect backdrop for this course, with a wealth of facilities available in both locations.

All of our summer positions are fully residential and all of our staff teams will be actively involved in the various events and activities that we put on for our students.

- Previous experience teaching leadership skills in some capacity
- Experience in teaching international students preferred
