Peterhouse Outreach is committed to providing young people with the information and support necessary to make competitive applications to university. In particular, they seek to encourage and enable students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds to access the University of Cambridge and higher education more widely.
The Peterhouse Outreach Team aims to develop relationships with schools and individuals, helping teachers to encourage and aid young people from a diverse range of backgrounds to apply to higher education and the University of Cambridge.
Our Year 11 students will learn about what studying at the University of Cambridge is like and how this opportunity is available to everyone.
Life at Peterhouse
Peterhouse is a small and vibrant College with about 75 students in each undergraduate year and about 475 students in total. Peterhouse has a uniquely friendly and welcoming environment and is close to the main Arts, Engineering, and Science faculties and five minute’s walk from the city centre. Peterhouse has a diverse student body, and the only thing all our students have in common is their commitment and ability for their subject and the drive to work hard.
There is a wealth of information about Peterhouse on this website, including the current Undergraduate and Postgraduate Student Handbooks, or you can download a PDF of the Peterhouse college prospectus which has similar information.
