Lucy inspires women from all walks of life to achieve the things they never thought possible – this is the catalyst for a unique atmosphere where the opportunities are vast, the support exceptional and the community spirit unrivalled. Nina

Lucy offers mature women students the opportunity to be themselves, to inspire and be inspired, to network, and to take full advantage of everything the University has to offer. Reflecting the interesting diversity of their lives, Lucy Cavendish students come with A Levels, Open University and Access qualifications or overseas equivalents, as well as with previous university experience. All want the challenge of studying for a Cambridge degree at this attractive and welcoming College.

There's regular contact between Fellows and students at College lectures, seminars and workshops, and more informally over lunch and dinner. There's no separate high table for Fellows. Thursday dinners (formal halls) at the College attract large numbers of guests (female and male!) including visitors from other Colleges and University societies. Many social events are held in the lovely conservatory bar which opens onto the tranquil College gardens. Students take part in a range of sports at both College and University level, and the College is particularly successful in rowing competitions. Both students and Fellows share the pleasure of singing in the College choir.

One of the three Colleges admitting students for the Graduate Course in Medicine in addition to the standard Medicine course, Lucy Cavendish has particularly strong inhouse provision for the teaching of Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine. The College provides internal teaching in a range of other subjects also.

The College has a beautiful site close to the centre of Cambridge with comfortable accommodation, a modern purpose-built library with extensive computer facilities, a well-equipped gym and a ‘music and meditation’ pavilion. Most student rooms are en suite or are sets sharing a bathroom. Some are suitable for students with mobility difficulties, and all have access to self-catering facilities and the University’s computer network. Well-appointed graduate rooms and accommodation suitable for couples are available off-campus.

If you are a mature woman who is thinking of applying to Cambridge, please contact our Admissions Office by telephone or email. We are happy to answer your questions and discuss your plans.
