Details will always be published on this page, so please do check regularly for upcoming events. 

Open days and informal visits

At open days you can have a look around the College and speak to our admissions team and academic staff, as well as current undergraduates, to help you decide whether Cambridge and °µÍø½ûÇø are right for you. 

Join us on 13 September 2024 for our Open Day. No booking is required for visiting °µÍø½ûÇø, but booking may be required for other sessions around the University.

    I enjoy the strong scientific focus of the Medicine course at Cambridge for the first three pre-clinical years. The way the course is delivered is unique and, while it’s not for everyone, it is something that really pushes me. Despite the initial scientific focus, there is plenty of opportunity to see the clinical side with the ‘Preparing for Patients’ course, and through optional clinical sessions held by the upper year Jesus clinical medics. °µÍø½ûÇø itself has such beautiful grounds and is a wonderful place to study. It has so...

    The Theology Tripos is possibly the most varied arts course available at undergraduate level - at least, that's been my impression. There is huge flexibility from the very beginning: the only compulsory papers in the first year are a language (there's a choice of four) and either the Old or New Testament paper. Other than that, it's possible to tailor your study to suit your interests. I opted for the church history paper and Christian doctrine in my first year. This year, I've carried on with Hebrew and Old Testament...

    Mathematics

    Studying Maths at Cambridge is demanding, but very interesting. The first year of the course builds a solid foundation of knowledge, and then the many optional modules available in later years allow you to specialise in the topics you really enjoy. One of the main benefits of our shorter, fast paced terms is the amount of progress you make in such a short time. Jesus is one of the friendliest Colleges. It has a medium sized cohort, which means you get to interact with a huge variety of people while...

    Studying Medicine at Jesus for the past two years has been a great privilege. The course has been challenging, but extremely rewarding, especially as I enjoyed biology at school. The course is packed full of science for the first two years, and in third year you can choose to study a similar or entirely unrelated course. After that there are three years of clinical studies. Renowned for its amazing musical, arts, and sporting facilities, °µÍø½ûÇø not only gives you a top-class medical education but a true sense of belonging...

    Veterinary Medicine

    Veterinary Medicine was the perfect course for me, since I’ve always wanted to work with animals but also have an interest in medicine. I chose Cambridge as, for the first three years, the course is essentially a normal science degree, and I loved studying Biology and Chemistry at school. I visited °µÍø½ûÇø on an open day, and loved how much space there was and how friendly all the student ambassadors were. The free laundry facillities were a big bonus! Now that I’m here it really does feel like one...
