Students applying for certain subjects will be asked to submit examples of their written work in advance of the interviews. If your subject is not listed on this page then you do not need to submit any written work. After you have submitted your application the College will contact you by email with further instructions on how to submit written work. The deadline for submitting written work is typically in early November but this will be confirmed in the mail sent to applicants. 

In most cases submitted written work should be essays or pieces of coursework you have produced in the course of your current studies and that has been marked by a teacher. It should not be written specially for your application. More information can be found below and on individual subject pages.

 

General guidelines for submitting written work

• Written work should normally be written as part of your routine studies at school and marked by a teacher. It can be in the form of complete essays or selected sections of extended projects or coursework. It must not be specifically written for your application. For this reason, we do not give suggested word limits, but please avoid sending entire extended pieces of work and in general written work should not exceed more than 2500 words (unless otherwise stated in the subject-specific requirements).
• Written work should be submitted as scanned copies of the original essays and not re-typed or re-written.
• The work should be representative of your academic writing abilities, so pick work that you are pleased with and that you would be happy discussing. 
• The content of your work may be discussed at the interview, so you should choose topics that interest you and which you are prepared to discuss. It is worth keeping a copy of anything you send us so that you can read it again before coming to the interview. You will not be 'tested' on its content, but you should be reasonably familiar with what you have written.
• In most cases you should choose work from subjects related to the subject you are applying for or that is in an affiliated subject. If you do not have written work that relates to the course you are applying for then choose something that best reflects your academic writing abilities rather than writing something specifically for Cambridge.
• Unless stated otherwise, submitted work should be submitted in the English language. If English is not your first language or you have been studying in another language then work can be translated into English (and then verified by your school or a suitable third party).
