Subject Admissions Webinars 2021
On Tuesday afternoons throughout March, April, May and June the admissions team at Downing College will be running subject based admissions webinars and live subject Q&As for students interested in studying at the University of Cambridge.
The subject admissions webinars will include an overview of the Cambridge undergraduate admissions process from a member of Downing College admissions staff, a summary of the course from the Director of Studies and an introduction to student life from a current undergraduate student.
The live subject Q&As are an opportunity for students to speak to the Director of Studies and a current student for their subject. Students are expected to watch the subject admissions webinar recording from last year on YouTube before attending the Q&A session where they will be able to get all their questions answered. Please find the recordings here.
The webinars will take a different subject each week but always start at 4pm. The subject admissions webinars last for an hour and a half whilst the live Q&As are an hour. If you have a question, please email: access@dow.cam.ac.uk
