Hughes Hall

"Hughes Hall has a relaxing yet academic atmosphere. Everybody is like one big family with Fellows, staff and students working together to make it a pleasant place. It provides great support to overseas and UK students alike. Hughes Hall gives the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, thus truly being an enriching environment both socially and academically." Katrina

Hughes Hall admits mature undergraduates over the age of 21 and affiliated students (who already have a good honours degree from another university). The College is the oldest graduate College in the University, founded in 1885 for the training of graduate women teachers. Since then it has become a lively and cosmopolitan community of 450–500 mature undergraduate and graduate students studying for nearly all the degrees offered by the University.

We welcome undergraduate (and affiliated graduate) applications from students of all backgrounds: A levels, BTEC, Open University, Access and similar qualifications are all considered. Applicants must be able to demonstrate their potential to succeed on a Cambridge course and evidence of recent study at the relevant level is important. See our website for more information, and also details of entry requirements. In summary, Hughes Hall offers you:
