    Students applying for Theology, Religion and Philosophy of Religion do not need to send a Fee Status Questionnaire during the application process. There is no Admissions Assessment for Theology this year (this is a change from previous years).
  • Online interviews (provisional information)
    The interview period is 27 Nov - 13 Dec 2023, and an update about provisional dates for Theology interviews in that period will be available here in due course. Selected applicants will have two interviews, which will take place remotely rather than in Cambridge. Please keep an eye on the current applicants page, which includes a section on receiving an invitation to interview, and information for students invited for remote interviews (most details will be available nearer the time). The current questions page also has a section for questions about the online interviews, once we have more information for you.
  • Resources: If you are looking for resources, please see the Theology, Religion and Philosophy of Religion subject page.
