Mature Students - Cambridge university

username7820507

Hi!

Are there any students on here who go to any of the mature colleges at Cambridge University?

I would love to hear about the application process, any advice and interview tips.

Is it the same process as standard applicant process?

If you are there - please share what the city is like and how are getting on with the course and routine?

Generally, it's exactly the same, whether undergrad or postgrad. There is a mechanism to apply slightly later, with a March deadline for mature students. I think this is something to do with alternative academic paths and the timeline for references. It's all on the website.

Mature Colleges are pretty much the same as all age Colleges, except the average age is older. Clare Hall is particularly family-friendly, but other than that, they are much of a muchness.
