School visits

As part of the University of Cambridge’s  we work closely with schools and students from Tyne and Wear (Newcastle, North and South Tyneside, Gateshead, and Sunderland), Peterborough, and the London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, and Westminster. 

School groups from these areas visit the College, and we offer a programme of events to stimulate academic interests, as well as answer questions about studying at Cambridge and at °µÍø½ûÇø. We also regularly travel to these areas if you would like us to come and visit your school.

Our current programme of events is designed for students from a broad range of age groups and includes:

  • Day visits to the College, where students can meet current undergraduates, attend taster lectures, visit University departments, and receive advice on applications
  • Visits to schools by the Schools Liaison Officer, giving students an insight into the application process and a chance to have their questions answered
  • Residential events for a variety of age groups from link area schools
  • Teacher information events, to advise teachers on how best to support students making applications to competitive universities.
  • Subject specific taster sessions and College open days.

Our Outreach Scheme document outlines the provision we are able to offer to schools in our Link Areas for various Year groups.

For more information on these events, please email the Schools Liaison Officer

    Chemical Engineering

    I chose to study Chemical Engineering at °µÍø½ûÇø, mainly because I thoroughly enjoyed the subjects that I studied at A-Level (Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics). The course was a natural combination of everything that I’d studied so far, and I’d decided that I wanted a practical career within industry. The course at Cambridge is different to the course at many other universities across the country; rather than immediately studying Chemical Engineering, you choose to study either General Engineering or Natural Sciences in your first year. You’re taught and...

    Human, Social, and Political Sciences

    Studying Human, Social, and Political Sciences (HSPS) at Jesus is great, as the relatively large intake creates a really supportive group within College. The course itself is diverse, allowing you to study everything from power politics to the psychology of free will. Taking four subjects in part one means you gain experience of several different disciplines before deciding where to specialise.

    History of Art

    History of Art at Cambridge gives you the opportunity of both broad and specific study. In the first year I studied one painting in significant detail by completing a short dissertation, while the Making and Meaning courses provided a firm background in 2000 years of art history. Spending each week on a new topic or time period, I have been surprised to develop interests in areas I had never considered before. Who knew 17th century fountains could be so interesting? For me, the most exciting aspect of History of Art...

    Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

    I chose to study Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) at Cambridge due to my love for languages. I was keen to pick up new languages in addition to those which I had studied at school. The AMES tripos is excellent for this: in Years 1 and 2 I studied Arabic and Persian, and in my final year I am studying Arabic and Hindi. The small class sizes are excellent and really aid in the learning of new languages. The degree is excellent with regards to the choice of modules...

    Law

    Studying Law at Jesus has been one of the most intellectually challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. The course enables you to explore and critically engage with various aspects of the law, whilst developing both abstract thinking and practical problem solving skills. The supervisors and facilities at Jesus foster a friendly and stimulating environment which makes for interesting academic discussion and learning.
