Ethnic and Racial Minorities Access Programme

The ERM Access Programme is for Year 11 students from ethnicities which are under-represented at Cambridge University. The programme included a day visit to Cambridge in October, where the students on the scheme were able to meet current Cambridge students, explore two Cambridge Colleges, and hear about the application process and life at university. Following this, we ran a series of online sessions focusing on study skills, A Level choices, and life at the University of Cambridge.

Peterhouse is working collaboratively on the scheme with colleagues from Emmanuel College, St Catharine's College, Queens College, Trinity Hall and Magdalene College. 

Who is eligible?

Year 11 students from UK state schools who identify as being from an ethnic minority that is underrepresented at the University of Cambridge (including but not limited to: any Black background, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Roma, Gypsy or Traveller, Arab)

Students should also be on track to achieve a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grades 9-7.

Applications for the 2023-2024 programme have now closed.
