Undergraduate Study

 

The Cambridge SU Shadowing Scheme gives students in Year 12 (or other UK equivalents) the unique opportunity to ‘shadow’ an undergraduate mentor during a three day residential. During the Scheme, Shadows will stay in student accommodation, attend lectures, meet lots of current students at a range of events and activities, and get advice on applying to Cambridge from staff and students. Using a secure, moderated online platform, participants can also stay in contact with their Mentor after the Scheme, receiving ongoing support in order to help them make well-informed, successful University applications. The Scheme is free to all Shadows, including accommodation, meals and travel.

Shadows will attend one of the three weeks :

  • Week 1: Sunday 25th to Tuesday 27th January 2026
  • Week 2: Sunday 1st to Tuesday 3rd February 2026
  • Week 3: Sunday 8th to Tuesday 10th February 2026
