Student Voices
Student Voices is a programme for Year 11 students attending a state-maintained school and from under-represented backgrounds.
This is your opportunity to speak to students at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge, and ask them all your questions!
The first online session will explore some common questions we receive about Higher Education, Cambridge, and university preparation.
The second online session is a Q&A panel with some of our current undergraduate students. The session is an opportunity for you to ask questions about the student experience, and is also a space to discuss fears of "not fitting in" at the University.
In this session, you will be able to talk to;
Kavarsan and James - BME Officers
Olive - Trans and Non-Binary Officer
Rosa - LGBTQ+ Officer
Oliver - Disability and Mental Illness Officer
Charlie - Class Act Officer
Suleman - Target and Access Officer
