Completing My Cambridge Application

My Cambridge Application is an additional form that you need to complete if you're applying to study an undergraduate degree at Cambridge. Applicants to the Graduate Course in Medicine do not need to complete My Cambridge Application.

Once you submit your UCAS application, you'll get an email from us within 48 hours with instructions and a link to your My Cambridge Application.

The form is personalised, so we'll only ask you the relevant questions for your application.

For most applicants, the deadline will be 22 October 2025 (6pm UK time).

If you're a mature student applying in our January round, the My Cambridge Application deadline is 21 January 2026 (6pm UK time). If you're applying for the Foundation Year, you can visit the Foundation Year website to find out more about what happens after you've submitted your UCAS application.

Before you start the form

You should prepare any documents and information you need in advance.

You may need:

• £60 for the application fee if you're applying from outside of the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man. Some applicants won't need to pay this fee. Check whether you need to pay
• A transcript
• Details of the topics you studied at high school, if you're leaving school this year or you left last year. For some courses, you may be asked to discuss these at interview. Find out more about what to expect at interview
• Scores and dates of any English language tests you've taken, such as IELTS
• Scores and dates of your SATs, if you took them
• A Cambridge specific personal statement. This is optional. For example, if you are applying to a course that is only offered at Cambridge, you can give information about why you want to study that course specifically
• Details of how your studies will be funded, if you’re an international student

Additional personal statement

You can write an extra personal statement for My Cambridge Application. This is optional and it will not disadvantage your application if you do not have anything to add.

You could use the statement to:

• highlight what interested you in the course you're applying to
• explain why you want to study a particular Cambridge course if you're applying to a course that is only offered at Cambridge
• tell us about the ways you're exploring your subject interests (if you haven't been able to cover this fully in your UCAS personal statement)

You should not repeat information that you included in your UCAS personal statement.
