The University of Cambridge requires most undergraduate applicants to take a standardized test as part of the admissions process. The specific test required depends on the course applied for. Here are some of the common tests:
Required for applicants to the Law course (BA in Law).
Required for applicants to Mathematics or related courses.
Required for applicants to Natural Sciences courses.
Required for applicants to Economics courses.
Required for applicants to Modern and Medieval Languages courses.
Required for applicants to History courses.
These tests are designed to assess the applicant’s academic abilities and potential to succeed in their chosen course of study. They typically include a combination of multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and essay questions.
In addition to the admissions test, Cambridge also considers other aspects of the application, such as academic transcripts, personal statements, and teacher references, when making admissions decisions. It’s important for applicants to check the specific requirements for the course they are interested in applying to.
