Christ's International Webinars

What do attendees think?
Here is some feedback from students who have attended previous international webinars:
"I asked about certain details in the My Cambridge Application questionnaire and received accurate, practical response. I also gained valuable information from other participants' questions and the hosts' answers. Really appreciate that the hosts answered all the questions in detail with great patience!"
"I appreciated free space to ask questions, many thanks."
It was very helpful to see proper information regarding the finances and scholarships for international students."
"There were many insightful comments and notes regarding the application process and a sneak peek into the UK school culture/schooling experience."
"I liked how the presenters were very encouraging and answered in detail for all the questions."
"I found it to be the best webinar I’ve been too so far because the individual presentations were short and engaging with a light air to it which made me less anxious and genuinely keyed into what was being said."
"The powerpoint prepared and answers from the admission officer and students are very detailed and comprehensive. Thank you for giving me so much information of studying in Christ' College."
"It was really insightful having the opportunity to hear from both current students and an admission officer and listen to all their advice and different perspective on the questions. The pre recordings were also good for context And the follow up email and recording useful too. Maybe next time slightly longer as we went overtime a little bit."
"The webinar was very insightful and informative. I found it especially helpful that all our questions about the application process were answered and that two of the international students at Christ's gave advice for the application process from a student's perspective. The information about the different financial aid options was also very useful."
"There was very helpful information regarding scholarships, as well as further information on the format of transcripts that should be sent with the application."
"Some insightful comments from both staff and students. Practical tips."
"The webinar was extremely well-organised and useful in clarifying my doubts as the speakers chosen had similar backgrounds that aligned to the participants, allowing me to gain valuable insights from their sharing!"
"I had clear understandings on the overall application and admission process at Cambridge specially for international students. I greatly thank, Christ's admission staff for their time and commitment."
"The perspectives by students were really insightful! Hoping to be able to hear from more students in the future."

| We do not expect you to attend regular webinars in the middle of the night! We deliberately vary the day of the week and timing in the hope that our applicants will be able to find a session that suits them. So if the timing of a scheduled regular webinar does not work for you, we recommend that you want for the next one (they take place very roughly once a month in the period when we run each one). The only students who may need to be slightly more flexible are those applying from Australia or New Zealand (please contact us if you are struggling). |
