BAME communities

The University of Cambridge welcomes applications from students of the highest intellectual potential, irrespective of social, racial, religious and financial considerations.

The University of Cambridge employs a full-time member of staff who engages with students who live in areas with a high number of ethnic minority communities, and who attend a UK maintained sector school.

The University's aim is to raise awareness among academically able UK BAME students that studying at Cambridge is achievable.
