Cambridge Pre-U

Four students working

Cambridge Pre-U is a post-16 qualification that prepares learners with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed at university. It promotes independent and self-directed learning in preparation for undergraduate study.

Important notice for schools

In November 2019 we announced that we will be withdrawing Cambridge Pre-U. The last examinations for all subjects will be June 2023, with a resit available in June 2024. We are withdrawing five low-entry subjects – Latin, Classical Greek, Psychology, Russian and Italian – one year earlier, in June 2022 with a resit available in June 2023. Please read our announcement for more information.
