Lucy Cavendish is one of the thirty-one constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. It is also one of the newest. In the five decades since Lucy Cavendish was founded both the College and the many students who have come here have had their lives transformed in ways few people would suspect. Our College prides itself on its strong sense of community; and the pursuit of academic excellence is combined with a friendly atmosphere and a warm informality. To support the University widening participation agenda, the College accepts applications from students of all ages and genders.
