Murray Edwards Sixth Form Lecture Series

The Murray Edwards Sixth Form Lecture Series is an in-person programme at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, focused on languages and literature. Sessions explore commonly studied A-level texts and topics-including English Literature, French, Spanish and Classics-through lectures delivered by Cambridge Fellows and academic staff.

The series offers Years 12 and 13 students the chance to engage with college Fellows, gain insight into Cambridge teaching methods, improve critical thinking and analytical skills, and receive support with selective university applications from the Director of Admissions. Lectures begin at 18:00 (with refreshments and informal conversation from 17:30) and last one hour.

The programme is free and open to all; attendees may optionally complete an online form to receive post-lecture resources and updates. Sessions take place at Murray Edwards College (Huntingdon Road, Cambridge CB3 0DF).

Specific lectures and speakers listed on the programme include Rachael Hodgson, Professor Lydia Hamlett, and Dr Sean McEvoy, with individual lecture topics and dates published on the college website.
