This page is part of the offer-holders section for students who have been offered an undergraduate place at Christ's College.

We'll show you around the College properly when you arrive as a new student, however if you would like to see/visit the College whilst you are holding an offer, please see the information below.
 

Ways to see Christ's as an offer holder

Self-guided visit to see the grounds


If you are able to get to Cambridge, offer-holders are welcome to walk through the grounds of Christ's on a self-guided visit during our daily opening hours. This will be on your own or with up to two family members or friends. Please read the self-guided visit page for details including the opening times and closure dates. Please be aware that this is not available 24/7 - to avoid disappointment it's important to check the date and opening times on the self-guided visit page.

Offer Holders' Visit Day


If you would like a guided visit, we hold a visit day for offer holders just after offers are sent. This year's details are below.

DateUK timeWhat?How do I book?
Friday 21 February 202511:00 - 14:45Offer Holder Visit Day at Christ's CollegeBooking link in offer emails / offer updates, and see the event page. The deadline for booking is 14 February at 12 noon UK time. 


The Visit Day is very much optional for those who would like to attend - don't worry if you can't make it as you will be shown around properly at the start of your degree.

NB if you have a place for deferred entry, you will be invited to the offer holder visit day next year too, if you prefer to attend with the cohort who will be your year group. 

Virtual Tour


You may also like to look up Christ's College on the Cambridge University Virtual Tour. Sure, it can be a bit slow to load, but if you bear with it, this resource includes 360 degree photography.

For Christ's you can see 360 degree photography of First Court, Second Court, Third Court and the Fellows' Garden, as well as example accommodation rooms in Second Court. Third Court and New Court. 

Do also explore your subject's department on the virtual tour.
