Go grab your diaries!


Hi all,

Welcome to Peterhouse’s Admissions Blog! If this is your first time visiting this page, scroll down to see our initial welcome post which includes lots of subject information, as well as a proper introduction from us.

Otherwise, this blog post lays out a few deadlines that have already passed, and a few that are creeping up fast, so go and get your diary before reading on! Not all of these deadlines will apply to all of you, but have a look below to make sure you don’t miss anything important (and remember to click on the links if you need more information).

Data Protection Forms/Fee Status Assessments (this applies to everyone) – shortly after you submitted your application to UCAS, we sent you a pack in the post including lots of information about what we needed from you next. We also included a pink Data Protection Form and a blue Fee Status Assessment Questionnaire. If you’re having trouble filling in the Fee Status Questionnaire, or your situation is a little unusual, you might find this link helpful. If you are taking/have taken A levels then we also need your statement of results. The deadline for these (including a copy of the photo page of your passport to support your Fee Status) is 15th November.

UMS scores (this applies to some of you) – in your welcome pack you were told that, if you have sat any AS/A level modules, we require a copy of your Statement of Results (you should be able to get this from your school). The deadline for this is also 15th November.

Written Work – our earlier post on this blog (below) explains which subjects require school/college essays to be submitted. If this applies to you then you should have received a cover sheet in the post from us, and once this is filled in you should attach one to every copy you send us (this does NOT apply to the set essay/project in Architecture). Please make sure you send the correct number of copies as it creates a huge amount of extra work for us if you don’t. The deadline for submitting Written Work is 15th November.

Visas – if you have applied from Overseas you might need to get hold of a visitor visa in order to come to your interview - please make sure you apply for the right type of visa, and that you do so in plenty of time for it to get processed (which can take weeks!). You can find lots of advice about it on the International Student Team's website. Interviews will be taking place between 3rd-18th Dec (except some Medicine interviews which will take place on Wed 26th Nov) and we'll publish rough dates for each subject here as soon as we can, but bear in mind that we don't invite all students for interview, so if you're planning to book flights before you get an interview invitation from us then make sure your tickets are refundable.

That’s all for now! Be sure to check back soon or subscribe to updates if you haven’t already.

Cheers for now,

Kathy & Martin
