Calling all UK Biology Students! January 2024 sees the launch of the brand-new Cambridge Biology Challenge. Run by Homerton College, this new nationwide competition challenges students to think deeply about the sort of questions that we ask at Cambridge. Every three weeks, a new question will be revealed, and teams of up to five students have two weeks to submit a response. Teams can choose whatever form they wish for the response, including posters, videos, podcasts and essays.
Participants on the programme will:
- Gain an understanding of the types of question we ask at Oxbridge (including in interviews).
- Be part of a nationwide competition, where teams can watch as they climb the leaderboard.
- Have access to special Biology webinars hosted by Cambridge University scientists and teaching staff.
- Win prizes, including visits to Cambridge.
The programme is open to Year 10-13 England/ Wales, Year 11-14 Northern Ireland, S3-S6 Scotland (or equivalent) UK school students.
To express your interest in this programme, please complete this form. Sign-ups to the programme will be contacted on a rolling basis.
Those who have completed the expression of interest form will be contacted shortly and provided with a link to the programme launch video and programme webpage.
