CUSU Access

Many people don't consider applying to Cambridge at all. Others consider applying but decide against it because they hear the myths that exist about applications and life at Cambridge. CUSU aims to dispel these myths and encourage applications from students from diverse backgrounds.

CUSU runs a wide range of initiatives and events including the Shadowing Scheme, the Target Scheme and the CUSU rAId Initiative. If you have any questions about the campaign or simply want to find out more, please contact the CUSU Access Officer.

CUSU Access schemes can only function with the help of Cambridge Students donating their time and energy to the various schemes. Not sure whether to get involved? Take a look at the facts to make you think. If you're a Cambridge student and want to find out more, click on one of the following links for further details and to get involved.
