So you don’t have to spend extra money getting here, we will reimburse your travel to Cambridge, including covering all train tickets costs or fuel costs there and back. Your food here will also be free and provided in our College. Our catering team are used to feeding students with different dietary requirements, so you should be able to enjoy the day at no cost.

Within our application form, you will need to:

• Tell us your GCSE or equivalent grades, and what you are currently studying. We realise predicted grades can vary across schools so we expect some variation, but you should have a good academic record and be studying academic subjects.
• Tell us a bit about your interests too, so we can work out if you would be a good fit. Not being offered a place does not mean you wouldn’t be a good fit for studying at Cambridge. We can only offer places to a few students and your interests may just not fit the programme this year.
• For an in-person visit, it is likely we will ask you for a teacher reference. Please tell us the name and contact of a teacher who we can get in touch with.

We also ask about whether you have a disability and any accessibility or dietary requirements. This is so we can meet any adjustments you may need and is not part of our selection process.

Check back here later to see what sort of topics you might be covering during your visit. In the meantime, you might want to have a look at our Natural Sciences Tripos degree outline and subject requirements.

Within your application to the residential, you will need to tell us which subjects you are interested in studying and explain your interest. Telling us this now does not mean you have to apply for this subject at University, and we expect you may be still deciding.

These events are open to students in Year 12 (England and Wales), Year 12 (Northern Ireland) or S5 (Scotland). You must attend a non-fee paying school. We will prioritise students from backgrounds which are underrepresented at Cambridge.
