Teachers and advisors are invited to join the Corpus Admissions Team at our 2023 Virtual Teacher Conference. The conference will consist of four CPD sessions split across 6-9 March. Each session will start at 4pm and will last about 45 minutes.
Teacher Conference Programme:
(All sessions will include a talk followed by time for Q&A)
Monday 6 March, 4pm: 'An introduction to Cambridge Admissions'
This session will be aimed at teachers and advisors who are new to the Cambridge admissions process. We will give an overview of how the process works, how we use data throughout the process and what we're looking for in UCAS references and personal statements. If you're an experienced Oxbridge advisor then you would still be welcome to attend this session as a refresher, or you may wish to just join us for the other conference sessions.
Tuesday 7 March, 4pm: 'Making competitive applications: engaging with super-curricular resources’
In this session, James Davies-Warner and Naomi Walker-Pearl will explore why super-curricular resources are so important and how they make up the backbone of a student's application.
Wednesday 8 March, 4pm: 'Deconstructing a Cambridge interview: Law'
Dr Michael Sutherland, Admissions Tutor for Corpus Christi College, will take teachers and advisors through a recording of a Cambridge Law interview and will provide a commentary on the interview from an Admissions Tutor's perspective.
Thursday 9 March, 4pm: 'Deconstructing a Cambridge interview: Engineering'
As with Wednesday's session, Dr Sutherland will provide a commentary on a recorded Cambridge interview - this time in Engineering. Teachers and Advisors will gain insights into what an Admissions Tutor looks for in a strong Engineering interview performance.
