College open days

Cambridge students are admitted by Colleges, not departments, so College open days give you the opportunity to pick up a wide range of useful information (College open days cover all courses offered by the College unless otherwise indicated). The Admissions Tutor will introduce the College and you’ll be shown round the grounds and facilities, probably by some of the students. Directors of Studies will discuss in detail the University’s courses and the College supervision system, and outline any specific admissions requirements their College might have. On the full-day programmes you’ll also have lunch in the College hall or buttery.

Due to limits on numbers, you need to book a place to attend a College open day. Please note that visiting a particular College doesn’t commit you to applying to that College: you can attend whichever College open day is convenient for you and apply to any College (or make an open application) afterwards. To book, please contact the appropriate College.
