This page explains our four large events and open days (including online options) in the October, February, July and September before application. They give you chance to meet us, see the College and find out more when it suits you.
These events are open to prospective students from all backgrounds, all over the world. Parents and guardians can also participate in most of the sessions. Remember that there are also plenty of smaller events in between the Open Days, including our regular webinars.
An introductory event that you can attend in person at Christ's College or online.
It's pitched for students who've recently started Year 12 (England/Wales) / S5 (Scotland) / Y13 (Northern Ireland) or an international equivalent. Students on a gap year, mature applicants, those who are home educated, and those applying from a university are also welcome.
This normally takes place on a Saturday in October and you can bring one parent or guardian (there's a separate programme for parents and guardians).
This is the biggest event of the year for prospective students and it takes place on a Thursday and a Friday in July (you only need to attend one day). It's a university-wide event and all Colleges and all university departments take part. You can attend talks and sample lectures for specific subjects, tour Colleges and accommodation and meet students, admissions staff and lecturers.
The Cambridge Open Days are for students applying the following September and you can bring parents / guardians. Most attendees will be in Year 12 (England/Wales) / S5 (Scotland) / Y13 (Northern Ireland) or an international equivalent. Students on a gap year, mature applicants, those who are home educated etc. are also welcome.
This is an annual university-wide Open Day giving students chance to visit Colleges just before application. It is particularly useful if you want to see more of the Colleges before choosing one. All Colleges take part and you'll be able to go on college tours, see the accommodation, meet students and admissions staff and ask questions.

Note: The September event is an opportunity to view Colleges - it does not include talks at the university faculties and departments. If you would like to attend subject talks and sample lectures, the July Cambridge Open Days will be a better option as these are larger open days and include both College and department events.
We can't wait to meet you and show you what a fantastic, friendly community we have in College! Students from all backgrounds, regions and countries are very welcome at Christ's.
