Outreach Residential

Each year Magdalene hosts a free three-day two-night residential for Year 12 (or equivalent) state school students in our link areas of North and West Wales and Merseyside.

Participants spend three days living at Magdalene College and will participate in lectures, seminars, workshops and practical sessions led by Cambridge academics, as well as spending time with current undergraduate students.

The residential is free, attendees will be provided with accommodation and food for the duration of the residential alongside all academic sessions.

Applicants should be interested in subjects related to Cambridge courses. The residential will give an overview of the subject range available at Cambridge and is a great opportunity to see how subjects are interrelated and crossover, it also allows attendees to investigate a new subject that they may not have considered before.

Applications will require support from a current teacher who will be contacted for endorsement. Permission to attend from a parent/guardian will be required. If successful applicants are required to miss school we will also require a signed permission from the school and parent/guardian.

Completion of the application form will not guarantee a place. Previous residentials have been heavily oversubscribed, we regret that not all applications will be successful. Places will be allocated by a number of criteria, with priority given to students in the Magdalene Link Areas of Merseyside and North Wales.

Application for this residential will have no influence on future application to the University of Cambridge.
