Fitzwilliam College Competitions are a set of academic and creative challenges run by Fitzwilliam College for school students. The programme includes eight essay competitions, one translation competition and an architectural design competition, offering a range of ways for participants to demonstrate their ideas, writing skills and creativity.
The competitions are aimed primarily at students in their penultimate year of education, with a separate translation competition for UK students in Year 10 and equivalent year groups in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each competition may have its own additional eligibility rules, so applicants should check the individual competition details carefully before entering.
This is a good opportunity for students who enjoy independent thinking, writing or design to take part in a competitive academic challenge linked to a Cambridge college. Participants should note that all entries must be submitted by the overall closing date for the competition season.
