From when a school student first thinks about applying to university, to the completion of a degree, there is a great deal to consider. How can I make a strong application? Will I like the course that is offered? What opportunities exist to develop myself outside my academic interests? How can I access the support I might need throughout my degree? How can I progress to further study or into my chosen career?

Before, during and after students study at the University, Cambridge seeks to provide the highest level of support. For prospective students, this means making sure they understand the value of applying to a top university like Cambridge, what is expected in the application process, and ensuring that all students feel confident that they are welcome here. For current students, this means providing the tools they need to make the most of their time in all spheres of university life – academic, extra-curricular, social – and to promote wellbeing and active engagement in the wider community. For students considering postgraduate study, this means ensuring they have the support – both personal and financial – to pursue further research with world-leading academics, and have the opportunity to make ground-breaking discoveries.

Join this panel discussion to find out how we can achieve our aim of removing barriers to access at every stage of the student journey, and ensuring that all of our students thrive. Hear from students who have engaged with the wide range of support offered by the collegiate University.
