These events provide a dynamic and supportive environment for personal and professional growth, whether you're a school student, teacher, or parent/supporter.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for in-person Careers and HE Fairs for 2024-25. However, please do still let us know about your event by contacting access@girton.cam.ac.uk as we would be delighted to send some resources to be displayed.

Online events
Make sure to follow our social media accounts to keep up with our 'A Subject A Day in May' series.
It is important for students in Year 10-12 to be thinking about what subject they may want to study at University as early as possible, as the choices they make post-16 will impact what doors are open to them.
This will be a series of short videos giving a glimpse into the subjects and courses offered at Girton College. Viewers will get the chance to hear from our own Fellows and students discussing different aspects of the courses, whether that is a structural overview of the content, or papers that they particularly enjoy learning or leaching about.
The next webinar will take place on Monday 16 June, 18:00-19:00, on Zoom.
Parents and supporters (including teachers) are encouraged to join this session led by our Head of Student Services, supported by our Financial Welfare Officer and Schools Liaison and Outreach Officer, as students begin to make their University choices and write their applications.
The session will detail aspects of the Cambridge application process, how you can best support your applicant, and break down student finance.
The next webinar will take place on Tuesday 15 July, 17:00-18:00, on Zoom.
Join our Senior Admissions Tutor and Schools Liaison and Outreach Officer for an hour of delving into all things Personal Statement related. Whether you're looking for guidance with the new UCAS statement, or wanting inspiration for super-curriculars, we've got you covered as you start to craft those University applications!
This webinar will take place on Thursday 6 November, 17:00-18:00. More information including a registration form will be advertised soon.

On the 28th, 29th and 30th of July 2025 (10am-12pm each day), the Cambridge Institute of Medical Research (CIMR) is running an online event called Reaching Research aimed at students in Years 12 and 13 interested in studying medicine, biomedical sciences, biochemistry, biology etc. at university.
Reaching Research will consist of:
- Several talks from biomedical scientists at different stages of their careers.
- A lab experiment carried out in CIMR.
- Information about university admissions.
Speakers include PhD students, research assistants, postdoctoral researchers, and group leaders. Each scientist will discuss their career background, current research topics and advice to students considering careers in science.
At the end of the three days, we will have a quiz with a top prize of £50 and two runner-up prizes of £25 worth of Amazon vouchers!
The event is aimed at students in Y12 and 13 attending state schools, with priority given to students who meet one or more of our additional criteria detailed on our website.
