Information about visiting Christ's as part of organised visit days
There are a lot of myths about university, and Cambridge certainly has its fair share. Some of your students might be discouraged from applying by these myths, as well as by other, more real concerns like finance, moving away from home and socialising. The best thing is for them to come to the university to see what living and working here is really like and Christ's is pleased to be able to offer visits to the college for its Link Area schools.
Christ’s College is able to accommodate visiting schools groups of up to 40 pupils. We host groups of KS4 and KS5 pupils, but are unfortunately unable to host visits from KS3 and younger students. Visits can be full day, half day, a couple of hours, or just a tour of the college. Apart from transport to and from Cambridge, visits are entirely free of charge for state schools, including morning refreshments and lunch on full day visits.
Day visit timetables are extremely flexible; please get in touch at access@christs.cam.ac.uk to check possible dates and to organise a programme. Please see below for examples of day visit programmes for different year groups:
- Sample Key Stage 4 day visit programme
- Sample Year 11 day visit programme
- Sample Year 12 day visit programme
Once your event is booked, you may find the practical details helpful.
Please note that visits to Cambridge are in very high demand so please book early. Link area schools will be given priority when booking visits to Christ's.
