Events for teachers

Events for teachers and HE advisers

As well as events for prospective students, a number of events for teachers and HE advisers are organised by the Cambridge Admissions Office (CAO) and several of the Colleges. These events provide up-to-date information about the University, including the application procedure and the range of outreach activities on offer.

Teachers and Advisers' Conference, June 2022

We're delighted to announce our webinar series to help teachers and advisers in their roles as they help prepare their students for applying to Cambridge. We will be running two sessions in June 2022. Please find more details about each session below and register to confirm your attendance. In addition to the two live webinars, we will also be circulating pre-recorded content to those who have registered for at least one session.

College/department events

Most Colleges welcome teachers’ visits during open days or by appointment at other times. In addition, many Colleges have Schoolteacher Fellowships or vacation study-visit programmes for teachers. Some departments also organise events specifically for teachers during the year. Further information can be obtained directly from the individual Colleges or faculties/departments.

Continuing your professional development

The University offers a range of CPD opportunities for teachers and advisers.

The Faculty of Education runs a number of short courses throughout the year, as well as a part-time Master of Education course that may be of interest to teachers and education professionals.

The Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) also offers a number of short courses, residential courses and summer schools, providing an in-depth exploration of specialised subjects.
