At Cambridge (as at Oxford) the process of applying starts earlier to allow time for interviews to be organised. Your UCAS application must be submitted by 15 October 2011 for entry in 2012 (or deferred entry in 2013)*. However, the process is otherwise much the same as that for other universities and is summarised in the three steps below.

*Other application deadlines apply for those wishing to be interviewed overseas and for some mature applicants.
