One of the best universities in the world, we have over 800 years of history and offer more than 30 undergraduate degree courses in the arts and humanities, social sciences, sciences and engineering. We’re a collegiate University, which means that as well as being a member of the University, you’ll be a member of one of our 29 undergraduate Colleges too.


Entry requirements


Our entry requirements vary between courses, but our minimum A level requirement will usually be A*AA or A*A*A. For the International Baccalaureate (IB), our minimum requirement is 41- 42 points out of 45, with 776 in Higher Level subjects. You may also need to have taken specifi c subjects related to your course and some of our Colleges may have additional requirements. For more details see cam.ac.uk/courses.


Employability


Greatly sought-after by employers, of our students who responded to the Graduate Outcomes Survey, 91% were in work or further study within 15 months of graduating*


. We are


one of the top 3 universities in the UK for graduate prospects**. Ambitious and intelligent, hard-working and passionate, Cambridge students are independent thinkers who develop transferable skills that can be applied to many industries and sectors. This means that our students can apply the skills they’ve developed throughout their degree to roles that may not directly relate to their course.
