The competition is open to students attending state-maintained schools in the UK and the Isle of Man, and who are in their penultimate year of education (Year 12 in England and Wales, S5 in Scotland, or Year 13 in Northern Ireland).

The essay questions cover the breadth of arts and humanities subjects offered at undergraduate level at the University of Cambridge.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1. Critical theorist Andre Gorz calls for a 'politics of time', which reflects that autonomy over time is central to human freedom. Discuss the importance of self determination in time-use compared to other aspects of freedom. 2. "Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going." (Rita Mae Brown, born 1944). Discuss this quote with reference to studying languages. 3. "... what we call 'social knowledge' and 'natural knowledge' are hybrid entities: what we know of comets, icebergs, and neutrinos irreducibly contains what we know of those people who speak for and about these things, just as what we know about the virtues of people is informed by their speech about things that exist in the world." (Steven Shapin, 1994). Discuss in relation to the validity of science. 4. "Translation is that which transforms everything so that nothing changes." (Günter Grass, 1927 - 2015). Discuss the terms 'transform' and 'change' with reference to translation of literature - bearing in mind that this quote itself has been translated from German. 5. "I have never been in a battle. And I grow increasingly convinced that I have very little idea of what a battle can be like." Discuss this quote by military historian John Keegan in relation to the problem of how a scholar can approach war. 6. "The artist's imagination at its most intense fires out what is perishable in fact; he builds with what is durable; but the biographer must accept the perishable, build with it, imbed it in the very fabric of his work. Much will perish; little will live. And thus we come to the conclusion that he [the biographer] is a craftsman, not an artist; and his work is not a work of art, but something betwixt and between." - Virginia Woolf, "The Art of Biography." Respond to this quotation from Woolf. Is biography an art form like sculpture, or the novel? Alternatively, you might consider: does fiction actually "fire out what is perishable in fact" - are facts not durable material with which to build lasting art? What's the relationship between fact and fiction? 7. "If any one should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I feel it could no otherwise be expressed than by making answer, 'Because it was he; because it was I.' There is beyond what I am able to say, I know not what inexplicable and inevitable power that brought on this union." - Montaigne, "Of Friendship," trans. by William Hazlitt Consider the nature of a fictional friendship in a literary text written or published prior to 1900. Where does friendship come from? What makes a true friendship? You may want to consider the essay by Michel de Montaigne, from which this quote is drawn, in your answer. 8. The role of place and space has been consistently undervalued and under-theorised in the social sciences. Critically assess this contention. 9. "The truth is rarely pure and never simple" (Oscar Wilde, 1854 - 1900). Explore this quote in relation to the value of studying and discussing texts from philosophy, literature, religion, or all three. 10. "Philosophical thinking begins as soon as it ceases to content itself with cognitions that are predictable and from which nothing more emerges than what had been placed there beforehand. The humane significance of computers would be to unburden the thinking of living beings to the extent that thought would gain the freedom to attain a knowledge that is not already implicit." - Theodor W. Adorno, "Notes on Philosophical Thinking" (1969) To what extent will the proliferation of AI large language models such as ChatGPT help or hinder human learning and/or creativity? Link your answer to an interpretation of the quote above. 11. "I would like to say that the home of belief lies in my relation to others." - Stanley Cavell, The Claim of Reason (1999) Is religious belief a private or public matter? Answer with reference to the quotation above, but you may bring in theological, philosophical, political, historical, and/or legal perspectives. 12. How did children's education differ in the past? Answer this question by retrieving and discussing at least 4 different manuscript sources from your local city/town/village/parish/school archives, or other local archives. Please append photographs of the relevant sections of these manuscripts to your essay submission.

You can read a selection of the winning entries from last year's competition here ( https://www.pet.cam.ac.uk/essay-competition-winners-2023)

Your essay should be no more than 2,000 words including footnotes and appendices on one of the four questions listed below. You should include a bibliography and ensure that all sources are referenced. The bibliography is excluded from the word limit. We know that not all students will be familiar with referencing, so you might find the following page from the University which includes a Guide to Harvard Referencing helpful ( https://libguides.cam.ac.uk/Official-Publications/referencing. Any other standard system of referencing style is also acceptable. Please note that all work should be your own, should not be produced by Artificial Intelligence, and should not include any work that has been or will be submitted to an exam board as part of your studies. The main focus of your essay should not be material previously or currently being studied as part of your school courses.

There is a maximum of four entries per school, preferably across the range of questions. Please note that this limit does not apply to Sixth Form Colleges where year groups are over 1000 students in size. All entries must be approved by a teacher, so please make sure a teacher at your school knows that you are entering. On the submission form you will be asked to provide a name and contact information for the teacher who will be supporting your application. If more than four entries are submitted by one school, we will contact the referees at this school to let us know which submissions are to be considered. Schools with lots of potential entrants may wish to run their own internal competition before the chosen answers are submitted to us for consideration.

Your essay must be submitted as a PDF via the following form: Your teacher will then receive an email from Peterhouse asking them to confirm that you are eligible and that your essay complies with our guidelines. They will need to complete this by https://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_080XQThHYlhMuPk Please ensure that all pages in your essay are numbered, and that your name and school appears clearly on the first page.

Expert speakers debated questions from the audience on religious influence in the House of Lords, representation of faiths, parliamentary reform, to social media bans for under-16s, rising discrimination, political journalism, moral leadership, funding overseas conflict, tackling UK poverty, compulsory political literacy, political participation and future careers - with powerful reminders throughout: “Democracy is like safeguarding; it is everyone’s responsibility” and “If you’re not at the table… you might be on the menu!” A great opportunity to experience the Politics & RE curriculum beyond the classroom and engage directly with the conversations shaping our society.
