The Foundation Year
The Foundation Year offers a new pathway to Cambridge for talented students whose circumstances would otherwise make this impossible. Foundation Year scholars will complete an innovative course that prepares them for an undergraduate degree.
We believe that Cambridge should be accessible to all students who have the ability to succeed here.
For some talented students, the disadvantage they experience prevents them from reaching their full potential. Some students who have had their education disrupted are unable to make a competitive application through Cambridge’s standard admissions process, in spite of their ability.
The Foundation Year is for students in this position. It is an entirely new route to undergraduate study, reaching and transforming the lives of highly capable students.
