What does ClickCambridge offer?

ClickCambridge is an exciting outreach programme designed to support Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and Arab (BPA)/mixed-BPA students to prepare for Sixth Form and university-level study. The programme is completely free of charge.

Eligible students from state (non fee-paying) schools can join the programme in Year 11 (England and Wales), S4 (Scotland), or Year 12 (Northern Ireland). The programme will begin with a series of interactive webinars held between January-March 2025. Topics will include making post-16 subject choices, study skills, and preparing for university. Sessions will feature insights from current BPA Cambridge students.

Students can also apply to attend a one-night residential at the University of Cambridge in August 2025. The residential is completely free of charge, including travel, accommodation, food, and all activities. Students will visit Cambridge Colleges and departments, explore the city centre with current Student Ambassadors, and engage in activities with other ClickCambridge participants. Places on the residential are limited. Students do not have to attend the residential to participate in the online portions of the ClickCambridge programme.

ClickCambridge will continue to support participants during Year 12, by offering a further series of online webinars to guide participants through the stages of the university application process. Current Cambridge BPA students will also share their own insights and experiences.
