A-Level & Foundation Pre-Master & Pre-PhD Success in the heart of Cambridge
Principal’s Welcome
At Cambridge Seminars College we believe in educating the
student as a whole. We help students find their passions and
achieve their potential, not only in their academic subjects,
but in all they do as they grow into skilled individuals, ready
for the modern world. We achieve this through personal
attention and robust policies, where every student has a voice
and is valued as an individual member of our college ‘family’.
We help students find their passions and For the past 40 years, our programmes have helped students progress
onto universities throughout the UK and beyond, and our experienced

academic subjects, but in all they do as they
Unlike many chains, as a family-owned, independent school, we
grow into skilled individuals, ready for the care more about maximising the potential of each student, than
modern world. maximising profit. We are not obsessed with league tables and A*s,
but interested in students who want to do their best and progress as
far as they can. While our academic achievement is excellent and far
ahead of national averages, we take great pride in all of our students’
achievements. Each progression onto the next step of education is
equal cause for celebration.
We keep academic class sizes small (average 3.2) to ensure that each
student receives the attention they need and deserve. All classes
are student-centred, and we seek regular student feedback during
the course. This allows tutors to shape the content and its delivery,
ensuring that students get more of what they need in the manner
that works best for them as individual learners. No-one is left out.
No-one is left behind.
Frequent tutorials with tutors, welfare and academic staff monitor
progress and tailor the journey as the students develop. Our UCAS
workshops take you through the university application process step-
by-step, and we are always on hand to guide and help you throughout
your course and beyond.
Whether you’re reading this as a parent or a student we understand
you may be unsure or have questions. That’s why as a family-run
college we take our commitment to helping you or your child settle,
achieve and progress, very seriously..
We would be honoured to take every step together throughout your
application, your course and your onward progression. Why not make
your next step to talk to us about joining our warm, welcoming college
community? At CSC, you’ll always be part of the family.

Cambridge
Bringing together the modern and the traditional, the studious
and the vibrant, the traditionally English and the multi-cultural,
Cambridge is a unique blend that results in the ideal study
destination for both UK and international students.
For over 800 years, the world famous university has been a leading
presence in both education and research, generating huge numbers of
life-changing inventions, philosophies, works of art and literature. This
dedication to academic excellence permeates the city, providing inspiration
for students to achieve all that they can.
Amongst all of the historic beauty, modern Cambridge is a vibrant, thriving,
multicultural city, with a wealth of cafés, restaurants, pubs, clubs and
societies, catering to all tastes, interests and religions.
Only 50 minutes from central London and all that the capital has to offer,
Cambridge is also the ideal base from which to explore the best of the rest
of the UK including the beautiful countryside of the North Norfolk coast
and nearby Fens only minutes away.
Beautiful, historic, atmospheric and
safe, Cambridge is the perfect place
to live, study, explore and grow.

A-Levels
A-Levels are the traditional route to university study in the UK,
and remain a gold-standard qualification recognised around
the world.
Students usually study 3 A-Levels, linked to the university degree to which
they aspire. A student wishing to progress to medical school might study
biology, chemistry and maths while a student wishing to study Foundation
in Computer Games Design might study art, linguistics and computer
science. The same A-Level subjects can lead to many different degree
programmes, offering students flexibility as their areas of interest may
change and expand throughout the course.
‘‘
A-Levels are usually studied over two years, with the final grade based on
exams taken at the end of the second year. As a recognised exam centre,

UCAS Workshops
The UCAS workshops ensure that university applications are
completed comprehensively and ahead of time, giving the best
chance of progression, and removing any last-minute stress.
All students attend a series of workshops during their course, where our
specialist tutor takes them through the university application process
step-by-step. This starts with identifying five university and course
destinations, works on and perfects personal statements and completes all
stages of the application form. The final stage is clicking ‘send’ and waiting
for the offers from target universities.
