These pre-interview notes are for current King's applicants, to be read in the context of the Applicant Information 2024.
Once you have submitted your My Cambridge Application, it is essential that you read this page carefully.
1. December interviews in Cambridge
Should we invite you for interviews, these will most likely take place from Monday 9th - Friday 13th Decemeber 2024. Those candidates being interviewed in person will in the majority of cases only need to be in Cambridge on one day. Please note that we will be unable to arrange interviews outside our scheduled interview times.
Interviews will be with one or more members of the teaching staff in the subject you intend to study in the first year. Please check individual subject pages for details about the number of interviews you will have, and their duration. Generally, an interview will last between 25 and 35 minutes, depending on subject.
2. Decisions and the January Pool
Decisions will be sent to you in late-January. Candidates who are placed in the Pool may be invited for interview at another College in mid-January. It is important that you give us both the address and telephone number at which you can be contacted in January 2025. If you intend to be at the home address given on your UCAS form, no action is required; if you will be elsewhere, please send us details as soon as they are known. You should also let us know if you are not available for interview in January.
3. Correspondence with King's.
All correspondence with King's must start with three or four pieces of information:
Your name (exactly as you wrote it on your UCAS form - please do not use alternative or abbreviated names during the admissions process)
The subject you are applying for
(Please write it out e.g. 'Medicine' not 'A100'. If you are applying for Natural Sciences, please always write 'Biological Natural Sciences' or 'Physical Natural Sciences')
Your UCAS number
Please continue to use this format even if you write to us several times. If each and every email we receive starts like this it saves us a lot of time and enables us to respond to your messages faster.
King's will contact you from the following email address: undergraduate.admissions@kings.cam.ac.uk
Please add this address to your contacts list / safe sender list (if you have one) to ensure that important emails do not go to your spam / junk folders.
