A link to the application form can be found HERE, but speak to your teachers and the Sixth Form team first.

Eligibility and Selection Criteria

The Cambridge Higher Aspirations Scheme (CHAS) is run by Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge and is open to Year 12 students who attend state schools or colleges.

Applicants to the programme must be on course to achieve 3As or higher at A level (or equivalent). The programme is selective, and we will operate a holistic approach in assessing applications, considering students’ prior academic attainment and predicted A Level (or equivalent) grades alongside widening participation criteria.

Applicants should ensure that the combination of A Level (or equivalent qualification) subjects that they are currently taking meets the subject entry requirements for the University of Cambridge degree which corresponds to their chosen CHAS course. For example, students applying for the Economics CHAS programme must be taking A Level Mathematics. Entry requirements for Cambridge degrees can be found on the course overview webpages here: Courses for 2026 entry | Undergraduate Study

Applications for the Academic Attainment Programme 2024-2026 are now open! Please read the following information to find out more, including how to apply.

Lucy Cavendish College is the most diverse College in Cambridge, admitting over 90% of our UK students from state schools. As part of our commitment to widening participation, we are delighted to launch our flagship virtual outreach programme, the Lucy Cavendish College Academic Attainment Programme, for the fourth year running. This free programme will provide around 1000 high-achieving state school students with comprehensive supplementary academic support tailored to their stage in the curriculum, giving them the best chance of achieving their full potential. For this year, the programme has been expanded to cover not only Year 12 (S5 - Scotland/Y13 - N.I), but also Year 13 (S6 - Scotland/Y14 - N.I), so students will continue to be supported during the crucial final stages of the UCAS application process, and in the final months of their A-Level (Scottish Highers/IB) studies.

The programme has proved very beneficial for students in the past years, with 9 in 10 receiving offers to study at Russell Group universities, and over the past 2 years participants have almost doubled their chances of being offered a place at either Oxford or Cambridge. Following the 2022/23 programme, 90% of participants felt that the programme had provided them with the resources and support to achieve the grades they wanted at A-Level (Scottish Highers/IB), and 98% of participants felt confident that they knew how to make a competitive application to Cambridge and other top universities.

"The AAP was a great benefit to my academic development, with it broadening my horizons to topics beyond the A-Level curriculum. I gained more confidence with approaching new unfamiliar topics." - AAP participant

The Programme was even featured on ITV news - watch here!
What does the programme involve?

The programme will begin in November 2024. In Year 12 (S5 Scotland/Y13 - N.I), students will participate in regular subject-specific enrichment classes in each of their core A-Level (Scottish Highers/IB) subjects, subject taster sessions, and monthly Peer Discussion Groups, allowing them to continuously develop their subject-specific knowledge, as well as their oracy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Students will also complete a Supracurricular Exploration Project in May, helping them to explore their subject interests further and think more seriously about possible degree choices. Throughout, students will also receive advice from our Admissions Team on every stage of the application process so that they can make their university applications as competitive as possible.

In Year 13 (or equivalent) students will continue to be supported by the Admissions Team as they navigate the application process, and will be offered subject-specific revision sessions ahead of their exams in the summer.

Find out more about each aspect of the programme and how it unfolds over the two years by exploring the dropdown boxes below.

Important Practical Information

Academic commitment

The Programme will usually involve at least one 90-minute session each week from November 2024 to March 2025, with some additional commitments the following academic year. For some sessions, students will need to complete preparatory work so they are able to make the most of the session. There will also be an option to complete some extension follow-up work if students wish to deepen their knowledge of a particular subject after the live online session has taken place. This independent work will usually take around 30 minutes.

We do not expect students to be able to attend every session, but we do hope that students will commit to attending the programme as fully as they are able to. Continuation onto the second year of the programme is contingent on students regularly participating during the first year.

From May 2025, students will also be required to produce an academic poster as part of the Supracurricular Exploration Project. This must be submitted and presented during the summer holidays of 2025 (exact date TBC).

Accessing the online programme

All live sessions will be taking place over Zoom. Session recordings and resources for all sessions will be uploaded to a webpage, which will be made accessible to students on the programme. Students will therefore need a reliable internet connection, a working webcam and microphone, and a pen/paper to take notes with and complete work.

Who is eligible for the programme?

In order to be eligible for the programme students need to:

Be in Year 12 in England or Wales, S5 in Scotland, or Year 13 in Northern Ireland in the academic year 2024/25

Be attending a non-fee paying school in the United Kingdom

Have achieved at least 5 grades 8-9 in their GCSEs (or equivalent, such as A grades in National 5s)

Be studying post-16 academic qualifications (A-Levels, International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers, or equivalent)

Be aiming to achieve at least A*AA in their A-Levels (AAA in Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers/42 points with 776 at HL in the IB/equivalent)

We hope to support as many eligible students as possible through the programme. However, if the programme is oversubscribed, we will prioritise students based on a combination of academic merit and the following Widening Participation priority criteria:

Are in care or care-experienced

Are eligible for Free School Meals

Belong to an underrepresented ethnic group:

Black British African or Black British Caribbean

British Bangladeshi/Bengali, Pakistani or Arab

Roma, Gypsy or Traveller

Have experienced disruption in their education such as:

Medical/health issues (including mental health), particularly those that have resulted in long or extended periods of absence (over 8 weeks) from school in the last 6 years

Bereavement of a close family member (e.g. parent/carer) in the last 6 years

Being a young carer

Becoming a parent

Being an asylum seeker or refugee

Becoming estranged from close family members (e.g. parents/carers)

Moving schools two or more times in the last 6 years

Other (to be specified)

Have a disability or Special Educational Needs

Attend a school with low progression to Oxbridge

Attend a school with low attainment

Are resident in an underrepresented UK region

Are resident in areas with relatively low participation in higher education (using POLAR4) or in areas with less advantaged socioeconomic characteristics (using IMD)

"I have been able to have serious conversations about going to Oxbridge and learn from Cambridge itself what it takes to be a Cambridge candidate. What would initially seem a daunting experience has been made easy, accessible and understandable." - AAP participant

Session Information

What and how many sessions are there?

The programme will consist of 7 sessions: 5 weeks of online academic sessions, sandwiched between two in-person events on the UCL Bloomsbury Campus.

Can I have a further breakdown of each of the sessions?

During the Welcome Event, you will meet your Taster Presenter and Student Ambassadors, take part in a campus tour, a session on choosing your course & university, and a subject introduction session led by your Taster Presenter.

During the online academic sessions, you will learn more about your Taster Presenters' topic, following a weekly theme of academic skills. The 3rd online session will be dedicated to working on your project, alongside your Student Ambassadors and members of the Access & Widening Participation Office.

The Research and Analysis week will leave you with an understanding of how to investigate a topic, how to distinguish between reputable and unreputable sources of information, and the ability to examine the implications of their research.

The Critical Thinking week will leave you with an understanding of how to analyse sources to form a judgement, the ability to challenge your own assumptions and take multiple perspectives on an issue, and an awareness of the difference between a fact and an opinion.

The Academic Writing week will leave you with an understanding of the formality, objectivity, and precision required to write academically. You will also learn how to communicate your project work in an academic capacity, and how to form conclusions.

The Presentation and Debate week will leave you with an understanding of delivering a clear and persuasive argument, creating a clear presentation structure, and the ability to listen to and answer questions. This session will directly contribute to the presentation of your projects during the in-person Graduation event.

During the Graduation Event, you will celebrate your accomplishments across the programme, and present your final projects. We will also provide you with a session on how to apply your experiences on Expand to your personal statement.

Is there any financial help available for travel to and from UCL campus for the in-person sessions?

We will be judging eligibility for financial assistance for travel on a case-by-case basis.

We will continue working with our students during Year 11, running five more events.

All our events run in-person so you will need to live within one hour of Imperial's South Kensington Campus. If you think your participation in this programme will not be possible due to the costs associated with travel to our campus, please get in touch with the programme team, no later than a week before the event, and they will be happy to discuss these circumstances with you.

If you live far from our South Kensington Campus you can consider applying to our Summer schools instead as this residential programme only requires one return journey.

You can read more about previous student experiences on this programme, and others as part of our celebration of Outreach at 50.

Our shadowing scheme lies is at the heart of Target Schools. We invite year 12 state school students to visit the University of Oxford and take part in a day of activities where you can visit the city, learn more about the subject you’re interested in by meeting current undergraduates, and get useful application tips! This is a great opportunity for future applicants to experience the Oxford teaching style and see what being a student here is really like.

Cambridge University Student Shadowing Scheme

For students who may be interested to apply to Oxbridge

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
what is the shadowing scheme?

The Shadowing Scheme is a university access scheme designed by current Cambridge undergraduates and run by Cambridge Students' Union (Cambridge SU). The Scheme is for students with little family history of attending University, who go to schools where few people progress to University. We also prioritise students who:

Are eligible for free school meals

Are refugees

Have caring responsibilities

Have been/are in local authority care

Are estranged

In late January or February, participants come to Cambridge, 'shadow' an undergraduate mentor who is studying a subject they're interested in, attend lectures, stay in student accommodation, meet lots of current students at a range of events and activities, and get advice on applying to Cambridge from staff and students.

Participants can also stay in contact with their Mentor after the Scheme, and attend online application and study skills sessions in summer, in order to help them make well-informed, successful University applications.

The Scheme is free to all Shadows, including accommodation, meals and travel.

What is Cambridge teaching like?

Is the Scheme accessible to me?

Are there activities I will enjoy?

What will I do on the Scheme?

Shadow your Mentor, a current Cambridge undergraduate, in Cambridge for three days

1-1 mentoring through a safe online platform before and after the Scheme

Attend lectures and supervisions (teaching in a small group) with your Mentor

Go to events and activities with other Shadows and current students

Tours of the city and colleges

Admissions talks with University staff

The Scheme is for students with little family history of attending University, who go to schools where few people progress to University. We especially welcome applications from those from WP (Widening Participation) backgrounds. Students beginning Year 12 in England and Wales, Year 13 in Northern Ireland, or S5 in Scotland, are eligible for the Shadowing Scheme. For 2024, we are also focused on students from Scotland and the North of England in particularly.

If you're in your penultimate year of secondary education and you meet some of the criteria listed above then the Shadowing Scheme is absolutely for you. We can't guarantee that you will love Cambridge or choose to apply to the University, but we can guarantee that you will leave the Scheme knowing a lot more about what it is really like to be a Cambridge student. We want you to have the support, experiences and information available for you to feel confident about whatever decisions you make about University. This includes building friendships with other prospective students, asking honest questions to current students, and having a Cambridge Admissions Tutor explain to you exactly how the process of applying to Cambridge works.

We would love you to come to Cambridge. The Scheme is put together to give you an authentic sense of what it is like here, behind all the myths and stereotypes, to see if you could love it too!

The residential aspect of the scheme will last for three days, and when you apply you'll get to choose between three possible weeks to attend. The dates for the 2024 scheme are:

Sunday 28th to Tuesday 30th January 2024

Sunday 4th to Tuesday 6th February 2024

Sunday 11th to Tuesday 13th February 2024

Applications for the 2024 Shadowing Scheme open on GCSE results day, 24th August 2023. Applications close on 11th October 2023, with the deadline for guardian and teacher consent forms on 18th October. There is a possibility that consent forms will get sent to junk/spam inboxes so please make sure to check these once a student has applied.

A range of links and sites for helping with different types of medical school interviews

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Interviews aren't just about testing your knowledge. They're a chance for medical schools to get to know you. They want to see how you communicate, why you're interested in medicine, and whether you have the right qualities to become a good doctor.

Medical schools use different types of interviews, and they'll let you know the format ahead of time. You can also use our Entry Requirements Tool to find more details about what to expect.

Types of interviews

Panel interviews are conducted by a group of two or more interviewers. These interviewers could be a mixture of clinical and admissions staff, a senior student or a member of the public. Usually they are around 20 to 30 minutes long, though some universities may offer longer interviews, or two interviews over two days.

Panel interviews can follow a structured or semi-structured format. In structured interviews, a specific set of questions are followed, whereas in semi-structured interviews, questions can be influenced by the interviewee's answers so the process is more conversational.

Multiple mini-interviews (MMIs)

Multiple mini-interviews are often referred to as MMIs and consist of a variety of different 'stations', or small interview scenarios. Each station will assess candidates for specific attributes and will only last for a short period of time. Stations can range from discussing personal statements and experience (like in a regular panel interview) to more practical scenarios that involve candidates interacting with an actor who will be playing a role. MMIs often include more creative stations, such as teamwork and communication stations.

Assessment centres involve a variety of interview formats and tasks, and can take up to an entire day to complete. Tasks might include completing written work, group interviews and individual panel interviews. Universities should provide applicants with all the relevant information before the interview, but you should try and find out as much as possible from the school you will be interviewing at.

Some universities may choose to run interviews online. Another type of online interview involves candidates recording themselves answering set questions and then submitting videos of their answers to the university's admissions team. These are called asynchronous interviews.

This helps universities and colleges to understand if you meet their entry requirements. Sometimes a university or college will make you an offer even if you don't meet the exact grades they're asking for.

If you have any questions about entry requirements, speak to the university/college before you apply.
It's important that the qualifications you enter are the same as on your certificates, or the same course name as what you're completing now (if applicable).
When filling this section in, you can select 'all qualifications' and search for your specific qualification. (when searching for your courses remember less is more!

13. References

All applications require a reference from someone who isn't a family member, friend, partner, or ex-partner. Please make sure you've asked them first and they've agreed to provide a reference, then fill in their details.

If you're applying independently, then you can ask a school, college, or UCAS registered centre to supply a reference for you.

You'll need:

The university or college name

The course and/or course code (Course code for reference, please do not try to search for your course code search using the course title)

The campus location

There are some key points to note:

1. You must complete all mandatory questions and you can't skip any sections. These must all be complete before your application can be sent. But you don't have to do it all at once - sign in and save your progress at any time.

2. Make sure your email address is always up-to-date - so you don't miss important updates on your application. You can change your email address at any time, but only your primary email address will receive email communications from UCAS and your chosen universities and colleges.

3. We'll ask for your residency status - if you're from outside the UK and need clarification on this, visit the UKCISA website for detailed information.

4. There are questions specifically for UK students - these areabout your ethnic origin and occupational background. These are mandatory questions used for monitoring purposes. This information will only be shared with universities and colleges after you have secured a place and will not influence any decision regarding your application.

5. We ask for information about personal circumstances - such as your parental education, if you've been in care, or involved in widening participation activities, so universities and colleges can form a more complete understanding of you as an individual. While this information is optional, it can help universities and colleges better understand your background, and provide support.

6. If you're applying with the support of a school and you didn't enter your buzzword during registration - you can do this at any time from your application. This will link your application to your school or college, so they can track your progress and provide support, including adding your reference.

7. We ask how you plan to fund your studies - but we do not manage student finance applications. Find out more about funding and finance.

8. You can give a parent, guardian, or adviser nominated access - if you'd like them to be able to speak to us on your behalf. We'll be able to discuss your application with them, but for security reasons, we can't share your login details (for example, if you need to change your password).

International and EU students

Make sure you add as much detail as possible - including grades and results. Without enough information universities and colleges might struggle to make a decision.

Use the search box to find your qualification. If you can't find yours type in 'other' and select one of the options so you can enter the details manually.

You may have to send proof of your results in certificates or transcripts. At UCAS, we're able to send some of your results - including the International Baccalaureate - but for most international qualifications you'll have to send them to the university or college yourself. Different universities and colleges have different policies for how they want to receive results. Some might ask for them as soon as you apply - others might do their initial assessment of your application before asking to see proof of your results.

Mature students

If you can't find your school exam certificates, contact the school or local authority, but if you have no luck, contact the course providers you're applying to and discuss your options. You may be able to get replacement certificates from the relevant exam board.

If you're adding an Access course to your application, there are four different kinds of Access course to choose from, so it's important to enter the correct one.

If you're unsure it's best to speak to your Access course provider to check. Then fill in the details as follows:

Access to HE qualifications are now divided into units, rather than modules. How many units you need to enter depends on the type of Access qualification you are taking or have achieved.

If your qualification is the Access to HE Diploma (2009 onwards), it's compulsory to add at least one of the units - there's space for 20 units so please add all of them, if possible. If you achieved a Diploma before the introduction of the new specification in September 2015, you may have achieved more than 20 units, so please contact your chosen universities and colleges for guidance on how to send additional unit details to them directly.

If you completed your Access qualification before 2009, your chosen universities and colleges may still need details of your units - either all of them or particular ones - so it's always best to check directly with the university or college.

Please also enter the amount of credits allocated to each unit under the heading 'Credit value'.

​Applying for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or veterinary science?

For these subjects you can only apply to a maximum of four courses in any one of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or veterinary science.

You can add choices with a different deadline later, but don't forget you can only have five choices in total.

Can I apply to both the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge?

Usually you can only apply to one course at either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge.

There are exceptions though - if you'll be a graduate at the start of the course, and you're applying for graduate medicine (course code A101) at the University of Cambridge, you could then also apply to medicine (course code A100) at Cambridge, as well as graduate medicine (course code A101) at the University of Oxford. (Some applicants will need to complete an additional application form to apply - visit the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge websites for more information.)

Are you applying for deferred entry?

If you are, make sure you've checked that the university or college accepts deferred entry applications for the course.

They may not be offering the course the following year, may be changing it, or prefer students not to have a gap in study before they start their degree.
Find out more about deferred entry

​Applying through a school, college or centre?

They will let you know whether and when you should pay them, so they can pay us. Alternatively, they'll tell you to pay UCAS direct by credit/debit card, and you do this before the reference is added to your application.

They will then send your application to us on your behalf. They may even set you an earlier deadline to complete your application than the UCAS deadline you're aiming to meet - this will be to allow them time to arrange your reference for you.

​Applying as an individual?

After the reference is added, pay by debit/credit card online, then submit your application to us.

​Applying from prison?

If you're applying from prison, as well as an academic reference, you also need a statement from the prison authorities - saying you're suitable and available for the start date.

Applying with no fixed address?

You need to provide an address on your UCAS application, as well as on your application for student finance. It's important to give an address you can collect mail from.

What if I can't afford the application fee?

Please speak to your school or college first if you have difficulty in affording the application fee. Most schools and colleges will cover the cost of your application fee if you can't afford this yourself.

You could also contact your chosen university or college(s) directly as they may also have schemes to pay for application fees in some circumstances.

For students in certain circumstances, there may be other sources of financial help:

If you have been in care - your local authority will be able to cover this cost for you. Contact your personal adviser, or call the Become Care Advice Service on 0800 023 2033 if you would like more advice. You might also find Become's factsheet about going to university or college helpful to find more information.

If you are a carer - contact your local authority and ask for an assessment of your needs, to help you plan for university or college. You could also speak to your local young carer services about support: find yours on the Children's Society website. For more help with going to uni or college as a carer, visit the Carers Trust website.

If you are an asylum seeker or refugee - Refugee Education UK has an overview of providers of grants to support young people's education, including the cost of fees, travel, resources, and equipment.

If you are applying from prison - your local authority or Youth Offending Team might be able to help with this. Alternatively, there are a number of organisations who may be able to support you:

UCAS is a charity. The cost of running the undergraduate admissions service is paid for by the application fees students pay and the fees universities and colleges pay when students are accepted. The profits from our wholly-owned commercial subsidiary, UCAS Media Ltd, help us to keep investing in improving the service for the next generation of students.

We work hard to keep our costs down, and believe the application fee represents good value for money. Your application fee pays for: information and support to help students make well-informed decisions about their futures, the processing and management of your applications with universities and colleges, our Customer Experience Centre, matching millions of exam results with students' applications to speed up decision-making, and the Clearing service - which helps applicants find a place after the main application period has finished.

Grants, scholarships, bursaries, allowances, funds - there is so much available to your students it can be difficult to keep track of it. I explain it all here.

What are university scholarships and bursaries?

Universities aoffer incentives to students in the form of scholarships and bursaries. These might be based on academic, sporting or musical achievements, household income or subject specific relevant to the course they are applying for.

Types of incentives include discounted course or accommodation costs, iPads and laptops, money towards travel expenses and books.

Scholarships and bursaries don't need to be paid back and applications are made directly to the university. Students should check individual university websites to research what is available. It is not just universities that offer scholarships and bursaries though - so students should be encouraged to check other oppoprtunities out as well.

Funding for health and social care students

Various funding is available to students studying specific health and social care courses. Applications for funding are made directly to the NHS learning support fund and include:

exceptional support fund

parental support

training grant

travel and dual accommodation expenses.

Terms and conditions apply so students need to research eligibility criteria. Further information can be found on the NHS Learning Support Fund website.

Support for students with children or adult dependants

Students with children or adult dependants might be entitled to additional financial support. How much they are eligible for depends on household income and what other types of funding and support they receive. These grants don't have to be repaid in the future and are applied for as part of their main student finance application. Funding includes:

adult dependants' grant

childcare grant

parents' learning allowance

What is the Disabled students' allowance?

This funding is designed to support students with specialist equipment, non-medical helpers, travel and day-to-day costs during their studies. Students may need to submit evidence and attend an assessment to discuss what support is required. Applications are made to Student Finance England after the main student finance application has been submitted.

Students who have been in care, or consider themselves estranged from their parents, could be eligible for additional funding through their local authority. Some universities, such as Teesside, offer care leaver bursaries to support students during their studies and also provide assistance with travel costs to open days and campus visits.

These are the main sources of additional financial support available for students, but there are others that are sector specific. Encourage your students to research what is available as early as possible to avoid them missing out. Open days are a great opportunity for students to find out more.

Universities will have a team of finance advisers on hand to offer support and guidance to students. They can discuss what the student might be eligible for, how and when they apply and even support them when completing their application.

Next, you'll need to write about your personal skills and achievements. Universities like to know the abilities you have that'll help you on the course, or generally with life at university.
Don't forget to include evidence to back up why you're so excited about the course(s) you've chosen.

Be bold and talk about the achievements you're proud of.

Include positions of responsibility you hold, or have held, both in and out of school.

What are the things that make you interesting, special, or unique?

Your work experience and future plans are important to include. You should share details of jobs, placements, work experience, or voluntary work, particularly if it's relevant to your course.

Try to link any experience to skills or qualities that'll make you successful.

If you know what you'd like to do after as a career, explain how you plan to use the knowledge and experience that you'll gain to launch your career.
