The deadline for this is 11 June 2026, so please apply as soon as possible. An example UCPA is available at the bottom of the page.

• Bank statement(s) of account of funds available (and the type of funds if not held in cash, e.g. shares, bonds, property, etc.) An example of a bank statement is available at the bottom of the page.
• Letter(s) from financial organisations, e.g. banks or private wealth managers, on headed notepaper, signed and stamped, officially certifying that the funds are currently held and that the account has operated normally in the past year.

Upload Exam Certificates – by 23 April 2026

As stated in your offer letter, you need to provide us with copies of your examination certificates relating to any already-completed examinations listed in your UCAS application, so that we can verify your results. Please follow the instructions below:

2. Find any exam certificates showing the qualifications and grades you listed.
3. Create a single PDF file containing all the certificates.
4. Name your PDF file as follows: Lastname_Firstname_UCAS ID_Exam Certificates (e.g. BOND_James_1234567890_Exam Certificates).

Support for Students with Disabilities

The College and the University work together to offer the maximum possible support to all disabled students. Now that you have received an offer (whether conditional or unconditional), we would like to give you a further opportunity to let us know if you have a disability and if you will require any support or advice if you come up to Cambridge.

If you would like to disclose a disability (that you didn’t mention on your application), you can complete the Accessibility and Disability Services: Tell us about your disability form.

If you already mentioned your disability on your UCAS application, you don’t need to complete the form.

STEP Support Programme

The University of Cambridge offers a free online STEP Support Programme to help university applicants develop their advanced mathematical problem-solving skills and prepare for STEP mathematics exams. All offer-holders who have a STEP condition are advised to use these resources.

Financial Support

Information about financial support for both home and overseas students can be found on our Financial Support pages.

Exam Results

If you are taking A-levels, STEP, Scottish Advanced Highers, Irish Leaving Certificate, or the IB Diploma, we should get your results automatically (IB students – make sure you have given permission to the IBO for your scores to be released).

If you are taking Advanced Placement exams and/or SATs, please authorise the College Board to share your results with Cambridge, and tell us when you have received them so we can check online.

If you are taking another qualification (e.g. French Baccalaureate, HKDSE, German Abitur), you will need to send us your scores. Please scan a copy of your official certificate of results, stamped and signed by your school, and upload it as a PDF document via the Applicant Documents Upload Form.
