Congratulations to all those who have received offers from Gonville & Caius College for undergraduate courses beginning in October 2023. We look forward to the prospect of welcoming you to Caius!

Offer holders were selected on the basis of academic potential, irrespective of background. A range of academic and contextual factors and, for the third successive year, online interviews were part of the process.

Of the successful home candidates, 72.3% are from the state sector. 30.1% have at least one indicator of disadvantage (detailed statistics below).

Dr Chris Scott, Caius Tutor for Admissions and Outreach, said: “Congratulations to those who have received an offer today. We hope you achieve your target and to see you at Caius in the autumn.

“We continue to aim to admit applicants of the greatest academic potential, irrespective of background, and are continuing  to develop and grow our multiple access and outreach initiatives to encourage those with less history of representation at Caius and Cambridge to apply here.”
