Subject Admissions Webinars

On Wednesday afternoons throughout  May, June, July and August the admissions team at Downing College will be running subject based admissions webinars for students interested in studying at the University of Cambridge.  These 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.
