The information below is for interviews in 2023.
If you are to be invited for interview, we will email you with the details. All Interviews will take place online in the first three weeks of December. All interviews will either take place at your home or at your school. We will try to give you as much detail as we can in advance of your interview but it is not always possible to tell you who will be interviewing you, so please do not ask us until nearer the date.
If you are not available for important reasons* at any time during the interview period, it is essential that you inform us in the Additional Applicant Information Form. It is your responsibility (and not your school's) to inform us of this. While we try to allocate interviews to take into account important reasons, please be aware that we are constrained by the availability of interviewers and the timeframe.
*Possible exemptions are for important appointments or illness only – e.g. hospital appointments, operations, exams or tests.
Winter Pool
If Queens' is unable to accept you and yet we wish to pool your application, then you may be called for another interview at Colleges which may be interested in taking you. If another College wishes to interview you, you will be told in January by telephone or e-mail. If you cannot be contacted at the address on your UCAS form, please inform us before Christmas giving the email address and, if at all possible, telephone number at which you can be contact from in early January.
If you have any queries that are not answered by the Cambridge University Admissions Website or Queens’ College Admissions Website then please do contact us at admissions@queens.cam.ac.uk
