University of Cambridge Institute of continuing Education

The Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) is a constituent part of the University of Cambridge. The institute encourages people in all walks of life to take advantage of continuing education.

ICE offers residential, online, weekend, summer, and part-time courses, as well as public lectures. The Institute also provides free public concerts performed by Cambridge musicians, featuring new student work alongside more traditional repertoire.

The Institute has an enrollment of over 6,000 students and has an academic staff of 13. A summer program brings in another 1,000 students from over 60 countries. The academic staff are called "lecturers", and the Institute's teaching is also accomplished by a group of about 300 "tutors" located in the Cambridge area and elsewhere.
