Student admission procedure

Graduate students wishing to come to the College must be accepted by the College and a Department of the University through the Student Registry of the University.

All potential Graduate Members apply in the first instance to the Student Registry, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1RZ. The few applications for Graduate Membership which do not go via the Student Registry are listed in the Cambridge Admissions Prospectus. The Student Registry (or the appropriate body dealing with the exceptional applications for membership) then asks the applicant to state his/her list of preferences for College membership. If Darwin College is listed as the applicant's first choice, his/her papers are sent to this College and the College Admissions Committee decides whether to offer the applicant a place.

If the Admissions Committee rejects the application, the papers are sent to the College listed as second choice, and so on. An offer of membership by Darwin College is conditional upon prior acceptance by the University and upon the fulfillment of financial conditions.

Fees
