About the College

Hughes Hall admits mature undergraduates over the age of 21 and affiliated students (who already have a good Honours degree from another university). The College is the oldest graduate College in the University, founded in 1885 for the training of graduate women teachers.

Hughes Hall is a lively and cosmopolitan community of 500 graduate and mature undergraduate students studying for nearly all degrees offered by the University.

We welcome applications from students of all backgrounds: A Levels, BTEC, Open University, Access and similar qualifications. Applicants must be able to demonstrate their potential to succeed on a Cambridge course, and evidence of recent study at the relevant level is important.

In summary, Hughes Hall offers you:

• dedicated and experienced Tutors and Directors of Studies attuned to the needs of mature and affiliated students
• a distinguished academic reputation, with Fellows and senior members of the College representing many University departments and disciplines
• a friendly, lively and civilised atmosphere promoting academic and extra-curricular aspirations for all students

• a distinguished sporting reputation, with active College sports teams and many other clubs and societies
• a programme of concerts, seminars, talks, and formal dinners fostering a friendly College community
