We are dedicated to ensuring that all academically able students, regardless of school and background, should have the chance to make a competitive application to study here at the University of Cambridge. Our support ranges from providing information and guidance about the Cambridge admissions process and subject taster classes, through to summer schools and sustained super-curricular programmes. There's something for everyone!

Our Admissions Team has years of experience in designing and delivering programmes that can help students successfully apply to universities like Cambridge. We understand that applying to Cambridge can be daunting but we are always willing to provide appropriate support to any student navigating the admissions process. We pride ourselves on understanding the potential obstacles that might stop a student from applying to Cambridge (or making a competitive application), and as such hope that our access and outreach programmes (listed below) can help students overcome them.     

• Super-curricular discussion groups in Architecture, Classics, English, Geography, History, Law, Modern & Medieval Languages, Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, and Philosophy, Religion and Ethics.
• A Physical Sciences stream for female students.
• Groups meet online every fortnight for six months with a 'Pelican Celebration' residential to celebrate its successful completion in early July.
