This free programme is aimed at school groups of academically high-performing students who are interested in finding out more about progressing to Cambridge or other leading universities. Booking is not open to individuals.
The visit days are multi-school in-person events for pupils and teachers to meet current undergraduates, hear from our Admissions team about applying, take part in an activity, and enjoy a lunch in College.
We run separate days for Year 10/11 students and Year 12 students. Priority is given to schools and colleges from the maintained sector and those from outside London and the south-east.
