Welcome Day 2025
Monday 30 June 2025
All applicants who have accepted their offer of study, and are interested in trying out their courses, have been invited to register to attend our exciting Welcome Day. The day will include taster lessons, getting to know course teachers, going through summer work activities, and meeting other new students who share your academic interests.
Timetables for the day will be sent to all registered applicants at least a week before the event.
We recommend that you bring a snack and drink with you, but you will also have the option to purchase something from our Food Centre. Please note that we are a cashless site, so you'll need to bring a bank card or phone with contactless payment installed in order to make any purchases.
We are very excited to be joined by Toni’s Ices, a local family-run business serving ice cream throughout the day!
Water stations are available across the campus, so don’t forget your bottle.

The free college shuttle bus will be available for pick-up and drop-off at the Cambridge Railway Station (Bus Stop 4).
