1. What is the eligibility criteria for entry onto the BA?

Applicants need to be 18 years old or more at the point of enrolment and will normally be expected to have achieved at least three B grades at Advanced (‘A’) Level qualifications, or equivalent. If you are still studying for your A Levels, your predicted grades should be submitted as well as the best eight GCSEs achieved. Mature applicants who already have a first degree are judged on the relevance of their qualification as well as their degree classification.

2. Can you provide some more information on the prerequisite Arabic intensive year and what level of Arabic is required to begin the first year of the BA?

Further information about the Arabic intensive year and the level of Arabic required before beginning the BA will be announced shortly.

3. If I am an international student can you help me get a student visa and am I eligible for a scholarship?

The College is currently only able to accept UK and EU nationals. Non-EU nationals can only be considered if they already have the relevant visa status demonstrating the right to full-time study in the UK. Such evidence must be shown and discussed at the time of application, and again at interview.

» Finance & Accommodation

1. Is there College accommodation for couples or a family with children?

The College only has single gender accommodation for students. If a student would like accommodation for a couple or family, they will need to secure this themselves. Applicants seeking financial assistance, including for accommodation, are required to submit a financial aid application if they are shortlisted for interview.

2. What are the expected living and tuition costs? 

Tuition fees for the BA are £6,000 per year. We estimate living costs in Cambridge to be £260 a month, not including accommodation. If your application is shortlisted and you need to apply for financial support, you will be required to fill out a financial aid form for assessment. Financial need does not impact admission offers.

1. How many students are expected to be on the course?

There will be up to 20 students in the BA cohort.

2. What is the average class time per week?

Classes run Monday – Friday, from 9AM – 5PM.

1. Can I come and visit the College before applying?

Yes, we will be having an Open Day on 6 February where you can come to the College, meet the Faculty and some current students. You must register in order to attend.

2. When will interviews be held? If I am abroad can I have an interview via Skype?

If your application is shortlisted you will be notified and invited to attend an interview at CMC during May 2019. If you are abroad or unable to come in person we can arrange an interview via Skype. We are unable to delay interviews past this period to ensure that the admissions process is completed in time.
