The community at Lucy is one of the most diverse, inclusive and friendly. I was supported in my academic work and also personally; everyone wants you to succeed and get the most out of Cambridge. I’ve made friends for life at Lucy!

** From 2021 Entry, Lucy Cavendish will be accepting applications from men and women from the standard university age. **
Lucy Cavendish College’s purpose has always been to provide opportunities for underrepresented groups to study at Cambridge. Previously a College for mature-age women, we now welcome applications from all suitably qualified students and our admissions policy means we aim to admit a majority of our students from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds. The College houses a vibrant international community, with a mission to address scientific, social and technological global challenges. We particularly welcome applications from those who share our values and our entrepreneurial spirit.
Lucy Cavendish provides a high level of support during your transition to university and throughout your degree. We have an experienced tutorial team and 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.
Our modern, informal campus is a short stroll from the centre of Cambridge, within easy reach of all University departments and facilities. On the College site, there is a gym, bar/café and common room, music practice facilities and dining hall. The library is open 24/7 and our accommodation offers fully-equipped kitchens. There are numerous opportunities to pursue your own interests, including a lively sporting scene and many clubs, societies and teams.
For academically outstanding students seeking an unrivalled education and a community that reflects modern society, Lucy Cavendish offers a unique environment that all can truly call home at the heart of the historic University.
