Here at Christ's College, we run regular webinars for international applicants from January until September. The aim is to provide extra help for students applying from outside the UK.
The regular webinars for international applicants cover aspects of the process relevant to applying from outside the UK and/or as a student with overseas fee status (if possible, please also attend Cambridge for Beginners, another regular webinar which includes more general information for all applicants). The webinar for international applicants session includes a presentation and an opportunity to type questions and get written answers at the same time (we normally have a second admissions staff member typing). After the webinar you will also receive a follow-up email with links to help you.
These sessions are for those considering an application in in Sept/Oct 2026 for Oct 2027 or deferred Oct 2028 entry (or even deferred Oct 2029 entry for those with 2 year National Service!).

As an international student, I feared that starting university whilst moving out for the first time would be very overwhelming. But the College community is so supportive; the tutors, the chaplain, the directors of study and the porters are all so kind and helpful.
"It was a detailed webinar with precise information for applying as an international student. It helped to demystify a lot of things such as the structure of colleges in Cambridge. The follow-up email with the links for applications for each country is very useful."
"Beneficial, Concise and Comprehensive Information regarding Application/Financial Information/Life at Christ's for International Students. Moreover, the follow-up material on Sway (sent by e-mail) is also helpful for recollection afterwards."
"I found the financial section particularly helpful. I feel more confident in applying."
"Very insightful, clear and useful."
"The event was really good, I found everything helpful."
There are also further webinars and online events for prospective undergraduate students that you can book in addition to the international webinars:
Webinar: Subject Matters - The importance of your post-16 subject choices
If you are taking the International Baccalaureate or International A levels this webinar will help you with subject choices to make sure that you are well prepared for the course that you want to apply for at Cambridge - even if you've not yet decided which course! This is one of our regular webinars
Webinar: Cambridge for Beginners!
This webinar is not pitched for international applicants, however it could still be helpful as it explains how the university works, how you are taught, student life etc., and it gives you a run-through of the main application process, all of which applies to international applicants too. This is one of our regular webinars.
Considering Cambridge (October; introductory)
A half day event with an online programme (or you are welcome to book for an in-person place if you have the opportunity to visit) strictly for students applying the following October only. See our Considering Cambridge page
Christ's College February Open Day (February)
A half day event with an online programme (or you are welcome to book for an in-person place if you have the opportunity to visit) strictly for students applying the following October only. See our February Open Day page.
Online subject meetings (May/June)
An opportunity to ask questions of a subject specialist in the course you are interested in. Strictly for students applying the following October only. See our online subject meetings page.
Webinar: Personal statements and preparing an application
This webinar explains what is needed for a strong personal statement (part of the application for all applicants). This is very different from the College Essay requested by USA universities, for example, so worth attending to understand. This is one of our regular webinars, running from spring until the summer.
Further events!
See our open days and events page for further Christ's College online events. NB. For our regular webinars, which we run February - August/Sept, we vary the time of day so if one is scheduled that doesn't suit your time zone, you just need to wait for another one - no need to watch in the middle of the night!
"I have really enjoyed the convenient location and beautiful setting, combined with a very friendly and supportive environment."
