GEEMA - The Group to Encourage Ethnic Minority Applications
What is GEEMA?
GEEMA, the Group to Encourage Ethnic Minority Applications, was set up in 1989 to ensure that talented UK Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students were not deterred from applying to the University of Cambridge. Since GEEMA was founded the number of UK BAME undergraduate students studying at Cambridge has increased considerably. The full-time GEEMA Coordinator and current undergraduates work hard to raise the awareness of academically able (i.e. Gifted and Talented) BAME students in the UK that studying at Cambridge is achievable.
Who is eligible for GEEMA activities?
GEEMA works only with UK Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students studying at maintained sector schools / colleges.
