°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½Ó¿Ú

Why this College?

Our students say the best things about °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½Ó¿Ú are the mix of people, the relaxed atmosphere, and our location in the heart of Cambridge.

Our students

We admit around 145 undergraduates a year, across all subjects studied at the University, with roughly equal numbers in arts and sciences.

We welcome applicants from all types of school and background. Everyone is considered for admission as an individual on their own academic merit.

Our facilities

All our undergraduates are offered accommodation either in the main College buildings or in College owned houses just across the road, so all Jesus students live just a stone’s throw from the Porters’ Lodge.

The College grounds are spacious and tranquil, away from the main tourist routes but only five minutes’ walk from the city centre. We’re particularly proud of our award winning library. Our bar, cafe, and common room have all recently been refurbished. Unusually for a Cambridge College, our playing fields are also on the main site.

Our community

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½Ó¿Ú is a diverse, hard working community. Our students are encouraged to pursue their ambitions in all areas, leading to a good mix of academic excellence with music, sports, and the arts. 

Please come and see for yourself what makes °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½Ó¿Ú so special, either by attending an open day or by making an informal visit.

    Natural Sciences (Physical)

    Studying a science option within the Natural Sciences Tripos provides an excellent opportunity to achieve a solid grounding in the core physical or biological sciences, as well as exploring new or different options that you may not have encountered at school. I have just finished my third year specialising in Materials Science at Jesus after studying Physics and Chemistry for the first two years. The ability to experience different options and tailor my direction of study especially appealed to me as I did not know what I wanted to specialise...

    Modern and Medieval Languages

    Modern and Medieval Languages (MML) is a hugely flexible course that allows you to explore the history, film, art, literature, linguistics, and thought of the languages that you study. In my first year alone, I studied medieval French literature, 17 th century Mexican poetry, and French Nouvelle Vague cinema! Jesus is the perfect place to study MML at Cambridge. With its beautiful, spacious grounds and friendly, tight-knit community of students and staff, it’s a supportive and stimulating place to work and live. There’s always something going on in College, from...

    Veterinary Medicine

    Veterinary Medicine was the perfect course for me, since I’ve always wanted to work with animals but also have an interest in medicine. I chose Cambridge as, for the first three years, the course is essentially a normal science degree, and I loved studying Biology and Chemistry at school. I visited °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½Ó¿Ú on an open day, and loved how much space there was and how friendly all the student ambassadors were. The free laundry facillities were a big bonus! Now that I’m here it really does feel like one...

    Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion

    I chose to do Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge because it was the most diverse and flexible course for this subject available. Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion is a broad subject that encompasses a lot of my passions including literature, language, and history; skills required for each of these disciplines are challenged and developed by the course. The Faculty is great environment for learning, with a friendly atmosphere and a fantastic library working space. It is a pleasure in particular to be a theologian at Jesus...

    Architecture

    Architecture at Cambridge is centred around studio work, where a design project is compiled into a final portfolio. My projects have varied greatly, with tutors from various architectural practices providing different insights into the design process. I have approached architecture both from the scale of the private room, investigating spaces through filmic and literary precedents, and from the scale of the city in a collaborative and realistic masterplan that takes into account socioeconomic and cultural issues within a community. The research based ethos of the department is evident in the...
