Congratulations to admissions candidates who have received offers to join Gonville & Caius College for undergraduate courses beginning in October 2024.

Caius has made 214 offers, with prospective students selected on the basis of academic potential, irrespective of background. A range of academic and contextual factors were considered in making offers, with in-person interviews returning for the majority of candidates.

Dr Chris Scott, Caius Tutor for Admissions and Outreach, said: “We were delighted by the numbers of prospective students applying to Caius, which made the admissions process very competitive.

“We continue to aim to admit applicants of the greatest academic potential, irrespective of background, and having a wide pool of talent to select from supports this goal.

“This year’s talented group of offer-holders is the most diverse we have ever seen at Caius, and this is testament to the effectiveness of our Outreach Strategy and widening participation work.

“In a very competitive year, I would like to extend my congratulations to the many Caius applicants who have been made offers by other Cambridge colleges through the January Pool.”
