Applicants in UK authority Care

There is a question for care-experienced students in the UCAS application. If you have been in care, please tick the box on your UCAS application. 

Information on the UCAS website for care-leavers

Please email admissions@christs.cam.ac.uk as soon as possible, and by 5 November at the latest, if you have been in UK authority care and did not tick the box in your UCAS application. Please remember to start your email with the details that we need: your name, subject and UCAS number. Many thanks!

If you are care-experienced please provide a document confirming this. To demonstrate care experience we would need at least one of the following: 

 > Letter from Local Authority that mentions care arrangement 

 > Letter from other body or professional responsible for care (e.g. children’s home, social worker/personal advisor) that mentions care arrangement 

 > Letter from school/college that mentions awareness of care arrangement 

 > Current or historic legal documentation relating to care such as a Care Order

Please save your document as a pdf file following the format of this example.

Please make sure
