Girton College is hosting Taster Days in October and they are open to students for the 2026-2027 academic year. The nomination form will be advertised at the start of September.
Teachers can nominate up to 3 students. In allocating places, we will consider the teacher’s recommendation as well as widening participation criteria and contextual data. Students must make their own way to and from Girton College. We regret we do not have space for parents, teachers, or supporters to remain during the day. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
Students in mainstream schools should normally be on track to achieve A*AA at A level (or equivalent) if in Year 12, or to achieve grade 7 or above in at least 5 GCSEs if in Year 11.
Languages and Culture - Priority will be given to Year 11 students, but students in Years 10 and 12 are welcome to apply and will be allocated spaces subject to availability.
Music - Open to Year 11 and 12 students. Students should be engaging with academic music at an appropriate level, either through GCSE or A level Music or music theory exams.

Robinson College
Robinson Unlocked: Monday 28 September - Wednesday 30 September

This is a residential opportunity led by the Racial Equality Officers on the Robinson College Students' Association (RCSA). The event is made by current students for prospective students, supported by Robinson College. The event is aimed at Year 12 students from ethnic minority backgrounds who are interested in gaining an insight into the University of Cambridge!
The event will provide an opportunity for academically-able students to explore student life, university-level learning, as well as receive valuable information about making competitive university applications. Participants are supported by current students at Robinson College who were in their shoes not too long ago, as well as members of specialist academic staff at the University. The residential focuses on ensuring students from BME backgrounds feel supported in making decisions about their futures and can feel a sense of belonging at the University of Cambridge.
