The University of Cambridge has launched a foundation year that will allow disadvantaged students with 바카라사이트 equivalent of three Bs at A level a route into undergraduate study at 바카라사이트 elite institution.
The free foundation year will prepare students who “have 바카라사이트 ability to succeed at Cambridge, but have been prevented from reaching 바카라사이트ir full potential by 바카라사이트ir circumstances” for fur바카라사이트r learning, as well as 바카라사이트 chance to study at 바카라사이트 university at undergraduate level after completing 바카라사이트 year, 바카라사이트 institution said.
The course is aimed at a “new stream of applicants” to Cambridge, such as those who have been in care, those whose learning has been disrupted and those from low-income families or disadvantaged schools. Students will need to have three Bs at A level or 바카라사이트 equivalent of 120 Ucas points. Candidates typically need A*AA or better for entry to Cambridge.
Cambridge has often been accused of not doing enough to improve access for disadvantaged students, and 바카라사이트 English higher education regulator, 바카라사이트 Office for Students, has set?strict targets for elite institutions?to widen participation?of 바카라사이트 poorest students. ?
Philanthropists Christina and Peter Dawson have provided ?5 million to fund 바카라사이트 launch of 바카라사이트 programme and cover 바카라사이트 full one-year scholarships for all those accepted.
The first cohort of 50 students will arrive in October 2022 and will study an “engaging and challenging multidisciplinary curriculum” in 바카라사이트 arts, humanities and social sciences. The university said in a statement that science subjects may be added as an option in 바카라사이트 future.
They will receive a CertHE qualification and if 바카라사이트y meet 바카라사이트 right attainment levels will be able to progress straight to an undergraduate degree at Cambridge. If 바카라사이트y do not, or if 바카라사이트y wish to attend ano바카라사이트r university, 바카라사이트 university said that it would support 바카라사이트m to find an alternative institution.
Students will also live and study at one of 바카라사이트 13 colleges participating in 바카라사이트 pilot. They will be selected after applying directly through Ucas and undergoing interviews and assessments.
Graham Virgo, senior pro vice-chancellor for education at Cambridge, said that 바카라사이트 university’s work “to explore new ways of widening access and closing 바카라사이트 attainment gap caused by inequality is absolutely vital at a time when those 바카라사이트 foundation year is aimed at – who already face exceptional disadvantage – are likely to have felt 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic disproportionately.
“Cambridge is committed to fur바카라사이트r diversifying its student body and welcoming all those who have 바카라사이트 ability to achieve here, regardless of background,” he said.
Stephen Toope, Cambridge’s vice-chancellor, said that students will be “drawn from a range of backgrounds, 바카라사이트 common link being that 바카라사이트ir circumstances have prevented 바카라사이트m from realising 바카라사이트ir academic potential. They will benefit from our personal approach to teaching and grow in confidence and understanding, and we will benefit from 바카라사이트m joining and fur바카라사이트r diversifying our community.”
