Lucy’s diverse community is unique; it was immediately clear that everyone genuinely wanted you to thrive - personally and academically. I couldn’t imagine a friendlier, more supportive, or better place to study and live. Lucy has undoubtedly made Cambridge home.
Sophia
Lucy Cavendish College’s purpose has always been to provide opportunities for underrepresented groups to study at Cambridge. We welcome applications from suitably qualified students of all genders and, uniquely among Cambridge Colleges, we routinely admit over 90% of UK students from maintained sector schools and a high percentage from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds.
Combining the best of Cambridge’s historic traditions and world-leading education with an environment and a community that reflects modern society, we are a College that is proud to be different. We are a driving force for change – come and join our inclusive, forward-thinking College.
Lucy Cavendish houses a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive international community, with a mission to address scientific, social and technological global challenges. We are eager to educate those who share our values and our enterprising spirit and to inspire them to become future leaders in their fields.
We provide a high level of academic, professional and personal support during your transition to university and throughout your degree. We enrol all students on a comprehensive Bridging Programme before your first term to ensure you are ready to make the most of your time here. A full programme of academic study skills, enterprise and career development throughout your degree then helps you to maximise your potential and ambitions.
We also have a dedicated team of specialist practitioners to support students with special educational needs.
