WhyNotLangs@Cam - Events Calendar
We organise a series of events for students from non-selective schools and colleges across the East of England which encourage them to consider the importance of language skills to benefit their future academic and personal profiles.
WhyNotLanguages@ Cambridge
Language Enrichment Days for Year 12 Language Students
The programme highlights the importance of languages and presents key features of language study in the University of Cambridge. Students experience language and literature seminars as well as an undergraduate level lecture to help give a flavour of language study at Cambridge.
Students also learn about the Cambridge application process and receive advice on how to write their personal statement followed by a question and answer session with University and College teaching staff. Students will also have the opportunity to meet and talk to current Cambridge Undergraduates studying in one of our language Faculties.
