International Students
A truly global student community
Lucy Cavendish College is a truly global student community and international students make up a significant proportion of our student population. We have a long history of admitting and supporting students from all over the world.
We offer a unique student experience: one that combines the historic traditions and world-leading education for which Cambridge is renowned with a modern, informal, home-from-home environment in our College. The College houses a vibrant, diverse, international community, with a mission to address scientific, social and technological global challenges.
Our world map shows the countries our current students come from.

However, if you do have any further questions, our friendly admissions team are always on hand and can be emailed via admissions@lucy.cam.ac.uk.
Meet our international students
Some of our international students have kindly shared their journeys to Cambridge and their experiences of adapting to life in the UK.
Preksha, undergraduate student in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, tells us about her experiences as an international student at Lucy Cavendish College.
Students across the University share their experiences here:
Miriam Dzah, BME Officer, BA in Human, Social & Political Sciences
"What I like most about Lucy is the small size of the community and the friendly environment that I quickly became a part of. Compared to the German schools and university I was used to, Cambridge impresses me by the amount of contact I have with my supervisors. I feel quite lucky to have professors who seem to know me well and encourage me."
Miriam Dzah, BME Officer
