Overview
Our BME Access Day in March 2020 unfortunately had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. However, we have organised online replacement Q&A sessions hosted by the BME Officers of Catz and Queens' College student committees. This is an opportunity to speak to staff and students at the University of Cambridge and ask all your questions about applications to the University and what it's like to study here.
Eligibility
These sessions are open to Black and Minority Ethnic students who are in Year 12 (or equivalent) at UK state school. If this does not apply to you, please see this page for other online events which are open to all.
How will the Q&A sessions work?
Join any of the three Q&A sessions on Sat 20th June to ask students and staff at Catz and Queens' your questions about life at Cambridge, both academic and social! If you're unsure which subject you'd like to apply for, feel free to attend both subject sessions and find out more about what studying different courses involves.
The sessions will take place using Zoom and will of course be completely free of charge. Your camera and audio will be disabled for all sessions but the Q&A feature will allow you to type any questions you have, big or small. These questions can also be anonymous if you prefer.
