Resources and guidance for prospective applicants
Our Admissions Team have created several useful resources providing comprehensive guidance for prospective applicants to Lucy Cavendish College and the University of Cambridge. Explore our resources below!
Subject Choice Guidance for A-Levels
The post-16 subject choices that students make can have a major impact on their course and university options. Selective universities such as the University of Cambridge often require applicants to have qualifications in certain subjects, or combinations of subjects, because they prepare students more effectively for degree courses. We hope that our comprehensive subject choice guidance is useful in helping students and their advisors to identify the most suitable A-Level (or equivalent) subjects that will enable them to make the most competitive applications for the university courses in which they are interested.
Resources for Supracurricular Exploration
Supracurricular exploration is an important way to expand your knowledge of your subject, explore your interests and develop your skills. Our new webpage contains guidance on supracurricular exploration and a comprehensive source of resources, grouped according to undergraduate degrees at Cambridge.
Subject enrichment resources
Events and Open Days
Our exciting and extensive outreach programme aims to provide prospective applicants and their teachers/advisors with transparent and comprehensive information and advice about applying to Cambridge, and to raise attainment among high-achieving students from backgrounds that are disadvantaged or underrepresented at Cambridge. Further information about upcoming events and opportunities for prospective applicants and their teachers/advisors to get involved with can be found below.
