The summer 2026 Cambridge University Open Days will take place on Thursday 9 and Friday 10 July 2026. This is the biggest event of the year for prospective students - all Colleges and university departments take part.
Tip: There is no need to wait until July - if you would like to attend events earlier in the year, please see our events page.
The Open Days are organised by the central Cambridge team for students considering an application to Cambridge in Sept/Oct 2026. The format will be a hybrid online/in-person format, with online sessions, and in-person visits. See the Cambridge Admissions website Open Days page for details nearer the time).
We will be running College tours (including accommodation rooms) from 09:30 to 16:30 on both Thurs 9 and Fri 10 July. No separate booking is needed for these, you just book for the Cambridge Open Days and then turn up. The Christ's Admissions team will also be on hand to help with questions about applying to Christ's College.
Around the 9 and 10 July, there will also be some Christ's online events, including the Christ's International Webinars and if you cannot visit in person, we recommend that you have a look at Christ's in the Cambridge University virtual tour. A full timetable will be available here nearer the time.

At Christ's we also run College Open Days earlier in the year for those who would find an Open Day before the July Open Days helpful.
"Christ's is the Goldilocks college in terms of size so you'll never feel overwhelmed with all the students but you can still blend into the background if you want. When everything you need is within a stone's throw of the college, why choose anywhere else?"
We host Year 12 students from our link schools in Worcestershire, Herefordshire and North and North East Lincolnshire the night before the open days. We have already emailed schools about this so if you're from one of these areas, please look out for the sign up opportunity in school or speak with your head of Year 12.
We are unable to also host school groups or individual students from other areas. If you would like to check for rooms at other Colleges there's a list of College contact details (we recommend that you look up the link College for your area). Otherwise, or if you are travelling with a parent or guardian, please see this page.
