University of Cambridge pre-interview assessments

University of Cambridge pre-interview assessments

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.

If you’re applying for a course with a pre-interview assessment your centre needs to register you by 15 October 2018, separately from your UCAS application.

As late registrations are not accepted, you need to ask your centre to register you well before the registration deadline.

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.
