Helpful resources

Supra-curricular activities

Strong applicants to Oxbridge and other competitive universities have often explored their chosen subject through wider reading and enrichment work outside of their A-Level studies.  Here are some great places to find resources for supra-curricular activities:

• HE+ 
• Staircase 12
• Oxford and Cambridge collaborative resources for students, and for teachers and advisers
• You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel, where we have a series of taster lectures delivered by Caius academics
• Coronavirus Tutoring Initiative

Useful links and further information

• Oxford and Cambridge Collaborative Outreach – lots of helpful resources about outreach at Oxford and Cambridge Universities
• Advancing access – resources and events for teachers and advisers to help them support students’ progression to leading universities
• More information for teachers and parents

Events

Here at Caius we host various events throughout the year – from our annual Women in Economics Day and BAME conference, to various subject days and lectures – and we are excited to build up our events programme further. Upcoming events will be posted below. 

At these sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to get all questions answered - be that about University generally, specifically about the Oxbridge admissions process, or about societies.

Our events are open to state-school secondary and sixth form students, however priority will be given to those from our link areas. More details about the events above and other opportunities, including how to sign up, are circulated via our mailing list – you can sign up here.

• The day’s activities will run from approximately 11:00-16:00 and are aimed at providing attendees with an insight into what life is like as a Cambridge student, as well as providing the opportunity to immerse themselves within a college environment and get all questions answered - be that about University generally, specifically about the Oxbridge admissions process, or about societies! The day’s activities will bust myths about Cambridge and help prepare the students for applying to University. New this year we are excited to offer supervisions to give students a flavour for the style of teaching we offer at Cambridge.
