In September, Christ's takes part in the Cambridge Colleges Open Day - a chance to visit multiple Colleges in the same day just before you make your application, and to ask any remaining questions.
The 2026 September Open Day will be on Friday 11 September 2026 from 09:30am to 4.30pm.
Christ's will be offering College tours with current students, as well as an opportunity to speak with our admissions team for students about to apply.
If you're in Year 12 / S5 / Y13 Northern Ireland, we recommend that you attend Considering Cambridge, which is pitched for students beginning sixth form, rather than this September Open Day, which will mainly be attended by students who are applying this year.
As part of this open day, you can visit Christ's between 09:30 and 16:30 (last College tours leave at 16:00) |
If you've not have a Cambridge talk and would like to attend an introductory session before the open day, we have our Cambridge for Beginners webinar at 11am on 27 August (book here). If you've only recently decided to apply to Cambridge, it's no problem - this will "catch you up". Please be reassured that at Christ's we have had some strong applications in the past from students who made quite a late decision to apply!!
If you'd like to hear more about why you should consider choosing Christ's for your application to Cambridge, as well as how our admissions team supports you through the admissions process, please join us for our Applying to Christ's webinar at 17:00 UK time on Tuesday 8th September (click here to book).
If you are an international student (applying from outside the UK and/or international fee status), we recommend that you also attend our Webinar for international applicants (2 Sept or 9 Sept - info and booking). Note that this is a different session to the July International Q&A webinars.
About the Colleges Open Day
If you plan to visit Christ's on Friday 11 September 2026 and would like to also visit other Colleges on the same day, note that all Colleges will be open and offering information / tours as part of the Colleges Open Day. The Open Day is from 09:30 - 16:30 and there'll be a programme on the central Open Days page nearer the time so that you can check the opening times for individual Colleges.
| The Colleges Open Day is a smaller event than the Cambridge Open Days in July - it is a chance to visit Colleges but there will be no live course presentations offered by the university departments. |
Further information
If you're looking at Christ's we also have a lot of information in our admissions and student life sections, whether it be the grounds and facilities section, including separate pages showing the College hall, swimming pool, Fellows' Garden, boathouse, and squash court, the accommodation page, the College map, or the subject pages and detailed student profiles.
You may also like to look at the Cambridge University maps and there is a printable map of Cambridge.
