Cambridge Virtual Subject Masterclasses  (Online)*NEW*

Cambridge is offering a new programme of Virtual Subject Masterclasses this summer for Year 12 or equivalent students (i.e. G11). A range of subjects will be available to explore from May – August 2021. Both UK and International students are welcome to attend.

The Masterclasses provide students with an opportunity to explore topics of interest beyond what is covered within the A Level syllabus including: Chemistry, Engineering, Genetics, Geography, History, Languages, Mathematics, and Psychology.

Each Virtual Masterclass includes:

• two live taster sessions delivered by leading academic staff from the University

• the opportunity to ask questions

• an introduction to the Cambridge admissions process

• the chance to hear about life as a Cambridge student from current undergraduates
