Please ensure that you include your IBAN numbers with your bank account details if you are applying to be paid directly to your bank account via BACS.

Student visa holders

Student visa holders must not be self-employed and therefore need to be added to the College pay roll to be paid monthly via a pay slip (not directly by BACS). This is a Home Office condition of these visa types. To be added to payroll each academic year, students must complete the , which will start the process of a Temporary Worker’s Agreement being produced for you by Tutorial. You will need one of these if you are a student member of °µÍø½ûÇø, even if you are undertaking supervisions for other Colleges. If you have any questions, please contact the Senior Postgraduate Administrator, Dr Vanessa Bowman. Student or tier 4 visa-holders will be paid via the College payroll in the next month after the payment dates listed below, once their employment paperwork is in place.

Safeguarding

Serious academic, pastoral and welfare issues

If you have serious pastoral or academic concerns please alert the College immediately.

Please refer all such matters to us rather than seeking to deal with them yourself.

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that °µÍø½ûÇø is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    What first attracted me to °µÍø½ûÇø was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options. When I arrived at Jesus I was so pleased to find the partner accommodation was spacious, affordable, and situated very close to the college, allowing us to really take advantage of the facilities. We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    °µÍø½ûÇø has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose °µÍø½ûÇø for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    °µÍø½ûÇø has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...
