The chiefs at Cambridge University have spoke to the producers of EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale about featuring the institute in some of their story lines.
All three top UK soaps have been asked to help the historic university to lose its long standing reputation of only taking on students from privileged backgrounds and can of course cater for everyone.
“It’s about challenging myths about studying at Cambridge,” a spokesman explained. “People think it’s an expensive place to study when in fact, because of short terms and the availability of college accommodation, the bills can be lower. We have some of the most generous student support packages around and it’s an unlimited pot: we don’t run out of cash.”
The representative added: “It’s really important to get a popular message across about raising young people’s aspirations and showing them the range of options on offer.”
