University of Cambridge: Cambridge for Beginners

Cambridge for Beginners is an introductory online webinar for students considering an undergraduate application to the University of Cambridge. It is designed to help applicants who are not yet confident about what is involved and to give them a clear starting point, whatever their background.

The session covers the basics of studying at Cambridge, including student life, colleges, how teaching works, and how the university is organised. The second half focuses on applying and on how to make a competitive application, with time reserved for questions at the end.

After the webinar, attendees receive a follow-up email with helpful links for further research. The session is open to a wide audience, including school students, mature applicants, international students, and parents or supporters, but it is not suitable for people interested in the Arts & Humanities Foundation Year.
