How to apply
Postgrad applicants to Cambridge apply to the University initially for a place on their chosen course, or courses. Following acceptance by a department - the academic offer - an application is made available to colleges for a membership offer. Applicants can indicate up to two College choices in their application. The University arranges for an offer-holder to be considered by additional Colleges if their choice Colleges are unable to offer membership.
The University’s Postgrad Admissions webpages provides full details of the process, and there is also a YouTube video prepared by the University here:
The Cambridge Postgrad Open Days takes place in late October-early November and Lucy Cavendish takes part in the College panel discussions. For more information see the University's Postgraduate Admissions webpage.
Postgrad applicants who wish to become a member of Lucy Cavendish should make the College first choice in their application. Consideration for some Lucy Cavendish studentships and awards are conditional upon making the College first choice.
Offers of College membership are subject to confirmation from the Postgraduate Admissions Office (PAO) that an offer-holder has met the conditions of offer set by the University. Offer conditions include a financial condition, and an academic one if the offer-holder is currently studying.
