Year 12 (Y13 NI / S5 Scotland)

Magdalene College will be offering a series of webinars to provide information and opportunities to ask questions about various aspects of the university application process. Webinars are open to students attending state-maintained schools in the UK. Some webinars may have additional eligibility criteria (e.g., by year group). All sessions will take place on Zoom from 17:00-18:00. All webinars will be recorded and made available on the Magdalene College website after the sessions, however we would encourage students to attend live to have the opportunity to contribute questions.

The Shadowing Scheme is a free university access scheme designed by current Cambridge undergraduates and run by the Cambridge Students' Union (Cambridge SU). The Scheme is for UK students in their penultimate year of secondary school (Year 12 England and Wales, Year 13 Northern Ireland or S5 Scotland), with little family history of attending University, who go to schools where few people progress to University.

The residential is open to Year 12 students attending a state-maintained school in Merseyside or the Isle of Man and is a fantastic opportunity for high-achieving students to find out more about studying at top universities such as the University of Cambridge.
