Being black at Cambridge University – BBC News

As the new academic year begins at Cambridge, the university has exclusively revealed to the BBC that they have admitted a record number of 137 UK black UK students, the highest figure ever for the university and up 46 students on last year, which was also a record year.

Whilst this is a step in the right direction for Cambridge, they admit there is still a way to go. BBC reporter Ashley John-Baptiste has followed three black students who started last year through what turned out to be quite an extraordinary year.

Produced by Adele Tobe.
