Looking for ways to explore your subject over the summer? Want some inspiration for your personal statement? Thinking about applying to competitive universities? These reading groups are for you!

The Gonville & Caius Summer Online Reading Groups are open to year 12/S5/year 13 NI students attending a UK state school or college. The aim of these sessions is to support you with super-curricular work, which is essential for making a competitive university application. Postgraduate students from the University of Cambridge will guide you through reading and extension exercises, giving you the perfect jump-start to deepening your knowledge of your subject. You will also have the opportunity to meet our Admissions Tutor and ask him your questions.
