The Armstrong Arts and Humanities Essay Competition is open to students attending state-maintained schools in the UK, and who are in their penultimate year of education (Year 12 in England and Wales, S5 in Scotland, or Year 13 in Northern Ireland).
The essay questions cover the breadth of arts and humanities subjects offered at undergraduate level at the University of Cambridge. Questions are often multi-disciplinary, designed to encourage entries to consider the connections between various subjects, and to allow entries to approach the question from varying angles. Effective essays will present a clear argument supported by specific, relevant examples.
Submissions for the 2024 Essay Competition will open in February 2025. Students can register their interest to be notified with submissions open: https://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9FjegVensriMJAq
