Trinity College Humanities Taster Day 2024

Applications will soon be open for a free of charge subject taster day hosted at Trinity College on the 18th July.

Our programmes are for current Year 12s in England or Wales, Year 13s in Northern Ireland or S5 in Scotland, designed to support your progression to university. This is a widening access programme to support students exploring their interests outside of school, and to increase knowledge and experience of Cambridge University, especially for those who may not have a family or school history of going to competitive universities.

To apply, please register using our online application form, by Midnight 5th June. The form will open soon.

Once launched, our programme will appear below:

Humanities Taster Day 18th July: 

 

For all of our in-person events, all travel and food is covered or reimbursed by Trinity College, so there will be no cost to you.

If you, your family or teachers have any questions about the programme, please get in touch with our Schools Liaison Officers at schools.liaison@trin.cam.ac.uk. Looking forward to hearing from you!

FAQ

If you have a question which isn’t answered, please register for our newsletter in order to hear about our 2024 launch and direct any questions about the residential to our Schools Liaison Officer at schools.liaison@trin.cam.ac.uk

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 and Psychology and Behavioural Science degree outlines 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.
