Summer Preparation Programme: bridging the gap between GCSEs and A-Levels
Lucy Cavendish launches new scheme to support high-achieving state school and college students
We are looking forward to welcoming our next intake of undergraduates
The College joins the University in celebrating the achievements of students who are going to Cambridge, testament to their hard work and determination.
We are also proud to be on track to meet admissions goals to increase student diversity at Cambridge.
Here are a few success stories of students who will be joining the Lucy community next month.
Bethany Baljak, a student at Gower College Swansea, will be joining us to study Linguistics.
“I'm very excited to head off to Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, and begin the course. With everything that has taken place over the past two years, it feels very satisfying to have concrete confirmation of the hard work that I and other students have put into our education during the pandemic. I'm grateful for all the support and encouragement Gower College Swansea has given me in my application process, and I feel ready to tackle my next year in Cambridge with confidence and enthusiasm.”
Caleb Ebenezer from Dagenham is one of 55 students from Brampton Manor Academy in East London who will be attending Cambridge this year. He achieved 2 A*s in Maths and Economics, and an A in Further Maths, and will be studying Economics at Lucy - as one of our first male undergraduate students.
He said: “I’m very proud to be attending Cambridge. It was a tough two years but I’m thankful to all the support I’ve received from my family and friends. Looking forward to my next three years!”
Tasnia Khan will join us to study Law after receiving 3A*s in English, Sociology and History at Oasis Academy Hadley in Enfield.
Tasnia - pictured left with fellow Oasis Academy student Nana, who will study HSPS at Cambridge - said she decided to apply to Cambridge because of the small-group supervisions that give students the opportunity to explore their subject more deeply.
"That really attracted me because I enjoy learning through discussion," she said. "And then of course there is Cambridge's overall academic excellence too! I'm thrilled to be going to Cambridge, especially after such a bumpy year in terms of the pandemic and all those worries. This has been a distant dream but now it's a reality."
Congratulations to all the successful offer-holders who have met their offers yesterday after another year of exceptional challenges.
