Lucy Cavendish College announces outcomes of first ever offer-holder mentoring programme
The successful programme, funded by philanthropy, was introduced to support offer-holders and to help them to prepare for university
The Lucy Cavendish College Summer Preparation Programme 2022 is designed to bridge the gap between GCSE (National 5/equivalent) study to A-Levels (IB/Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers/equivalent) by providing students with a month-long programme of academic enrichment tailored to their stage of the curriculum. The programme will consist of study skills workshops on a range of important themes such as time management and essay writing, university readiness sessions to support students as they plan their next steps to top Universities like Cambridge, and substantive knowledge sessions, designed to supplement students' foundational academic knowledge so that they can hit the ground running when they start their post-16 studies.
As a College, we aim to tackle the pressing issues of the twenty-first century, and we have designed this year’s questions to get to the heart of the most important issues affecting Medicine and Veterinary Medicine during this extraordinary time. Students in Year 12 (S5 - Scotland, Y13 - N.I.) attending a UK state school are invited to choose one question from either Medicine and Veterinary and submit an essay of between 1,000-1,500 words by the 6th June 2022.
This year, we are also running a programme of support sessions to provide guidance to students entering the Cottrell Essay Prize. These sessions will offer you the opportunity to develop your essay-writing skills and gain an insight into university-level study.
This series will consist of concurrent sessions, tailored for teachers/advisors at UK state schools and non-UK schools respectively.
We are hosting a regular series of interactive webinars throughout the academic year to support Y11-13 students through the Cambridge application process.
Sessions include:
The College is currently closed to visitors due to it being the undergraduate exam period. Prospective applicant College tours will resume in the summer, and information about how to book these will be uploaded here in due course.
We send out monthly newsletters to update you on exciting events and opportunities happening both in Lucy Cavendish College and across the wider university.
