School/college students thinking about applying for 2005 entry to Cambridge (or deferred entry in 2006) are welcome to come along to one of the many open days and information days taking place this month.

As well as a general information day on September 7 about studying at Cambridge, many of the individual Colleges of the University are holding their own open days throughout September.

Attending a College open day offers prospective applicants the chance to meet admissions staff and get a first-hand taste of what student life here is really like. Students at Cambridge belong to a particular College, as well as the University. You can either apply directly to a College or make an 'open' application, which will then be allocated to a College, according to the number of applications received that year.

Attending a particular College's open day doesn't mean you have to apply there. Numbers permitting, prospective applicants can come along to whichever open day is most convenient for them. Please note, though, that Newnham and New Hall are for female students only.

There will be a separate information day on November 3 for students on Access to Higher Education courses. For more information, or to book a place at this event, please call 01223 764025 or 765634, or email opendays@admin.cam.ac.uk.

Details of open days and information days taking place during September are listed below.

Booking is essential for these events.
