School and College Visits
"The students found it interesting to talk to a person who had studied at Cambridge, as well as working there now. Each session was tailored for the audience and this made it very helpful to everyone involved."
Adviser, Wiltshire
"I liked how Kaz explained everything in detail, I didn’t know all of these things before and now it’s given me determination to try harder in my A Levels so that I am able to reach the requirements of the university."
Student, Wandsworth
"It was great to see someone from a state school who had been successful at Cambridge on an inspirational/accessible level."
Teacher, Wiltshire
"It was very useful for those who attended the talk to hear information firsthand and delivered in such an approachable way."
Adviser, Gloucestershire
"Mythbusting, balance of videos and presentation, and Q&A were most useful and enjoyable."
Teacher, Wandsworth
Robinson College participates in the University of Cambridge Area Links scheme (learn more here), and is the link Cambridge college for Swindon, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the London Borough of Wandsworth. We regularly visit state-maintained schools and FE Colleges in these areas to talk about Cambridge life and applications. We also invite visits from school groups in these areas to Robinson College, to experience a day of Cambridge life for themselves.
If you are interested in Robinson visiting your school or college, or to have a virtual 'visit', please write to outreach@robinson.cam.ac.uk.
