We prepare students for life – helping them to develop an informed curiosity and lasting passion for learning.
Cambridge helps students develop thinking and learning skills – so they become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged.
Success with Cambridge opens doors to the world’s best universities – in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada and beyond.
It’s what you’d expect from an organisation that is part of the world-leading University of Cambridge.
Cambridge programmes prepare students for life – helping them to develop an informed curiosity and lasting passion for learning.
Cambridge helps students become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. These are the attributes of Cambridge learners.
We design all our curriculum and assessments with the Cambridge learner attributes in mind.
The five attributes are our way of recognising that students need to develop attitudes and life skills throughout their education, as well as academic skills, in order to be successful at university and in employment.

Students can use our past papers and learner guides to prepare for Cambridge exams.
It’s a good idea for students to familiarise themselves with different styles of exam questions, as this will give them a good understanding of the knowledge and skills they need to develop during the course. 
We work closely with textbook publishers to make sure our programmes are well-supported.

When we design our programmes, we start by identifying what a student needs to learn.
Students have to demonstrate understanding and the core knowledge of a subject, as well as think critically. Exams are there to recognise, reward and encourage learning.
