Undergraduate Study

 
Cambridge for Beginners poster

Detailed introductory online session covering how Cambridge works (Colleges, teaching, student life etc.), how to apply, what we are looking for and how to make a competitive application. 

Aimed at students in

  • Year 11 or Year 12 England & Wales
  • S4 or S5 Scotland
  • Yr12 or Yr13 Northern Ireland
  • an equivalent school year outside the UK

If we ask how much you already know about Cambridge on a scale of 1-10 and your answer would be 4 or less, this one is for you! It is designed for those who have not already attended a Cambridge / Oxbridge talk.

Structure:

  • First 45 mins: student life, colleges, the teaching and how the university works
  • Second 45 mins: how to make a compeitive application and what we are looking for.
  • After the webinar all attendees will receive a follow-up email with helpful links for further research.

Further notes:

  • Students from outside the UK are encouraged to also attend an international webinar.
  • Cambridge for Beginners works for all undergraduate courses Cambridge offers but NOT the Foundation Year. Info will be wrong if you're interested in the Foundation Year so to avoid confusion please don't attend
  • This session is one of our regular webinars.
