We work with the University of Cambridge to produce and deliver a range of pre-interview assessments. These assessments are required for a number of undergraduate courses, as part of the application process.
The courses currently using the pre-interview assessments are listed below.
The assessment procedure for mature students is different to other students. In some cases mature students are not required to take a pre-interview assessment. For full details, visit the University of Cambridge website.
For preparation materials, click on the assessment name in the table.
Please note, there have been some changes to the Cambridge pre-interview assessments for 2020. For full details of the entry requirements for your course, please check the University of Cambridge website.
