CLASS is an opportunity for students from all of our Area Links schools to attend a short residential hosted in College.
Lasts for 2 days and 2 nights and is the Tuesday and Wednesday before the University of Cambridge Open Days (first week of July).
Combination of super-curricular activities and Cambridge admissions workshops.
A chance to experience what undergraduate life at Cambridge and Corpus might be like.

There is no reserve list for students from outside our Area Links schools.

Do school staff have to attend?

We encourage school staff to attend if there are four or more students from the same school attending.
There are specific teacher and staff only sessions.
It is a chance to meet different teachers and staff and exchange best practice.

How much does it cost?

All travel, accommodation, and food costs are covered for students involved in the Belfast HE+ programme.
For all other students accommodation and food costs are covered but travel to and from Cambridge is not.
For students who are, or have been eligible for, Free School Meals there is a bursary available to contribute to the costs of travel.

How do I apply for it?

There is no direct application form. All nominations happen via a teacher at your school.
Schools are notified before the Easter holidays about dates and the number places available.
