School visits

As part of the University of Cambridge’s  we work closely with schools and students from Tyne and Wear (Newcastle, North and South Tyneside, Gateshead, and Sunderland), Peterborough, and the London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, and Westminster. 

School groups from these areas visit the College, and we offer a programme of events to stimulate academic interests, as well as answer questions about studying at Cambridge and at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ. We also regularly travel to these areas if you would like us to come and visit your school.

Our current programme of events is designed for students from a broad range of age groups and includes:

  • Day visits to the College, where students can meet current undergraduates, attend taster lectures, visit University departments, and receive advice on applications
  • Visits to schools by the Schools Liaison Officer, giving students an insight into the application process and a chance to have their questions answered
  • Residential events for a variety of age groups from link area schools
  • Teacher information events, to advise teachers on how best to support students making applications to competitive universities.
  • Subject specific taster sessions and College open days.

Our Outreach Scheme document outlines the provision we are able to offer to schools in our Link Areas for various Year groups.

For more information on these events, please email the Schools Liaison Officer

    Medicine

    Studying Medicine at Jesus for the past two years has been a great privilege. The course has been challenging, but extremely rewarding, especially as I enjoyed biology at school. The course is packed full of science for the first two years, and in third year you can choose to study a similar or entirely unrelated course. After that there are three years of clinical studies. Renowned for its amazing musical, arts, and sporting facilities, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ not only gives you a top-class medical education but a true sense of belonging...

    History of Art

    History of Art at Cambridge gives you the opportunity of both broad and specific study. In the first year I studied one painting in significant detail by completing a short dissertation, while the Making and Meaning courses provided a firm background in 2000 years of art history. Spending each week on a new topic or time period, I have been surprised to develop interests in areas I had never considered before. Who knew 17th century fountains could be so interesting? For me, the most exciting aspect of History of Art...

    Computer Science

    The combination of modern computing facilities, inspiring surroundings, and like minded people made °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ a great place to study. After graduating I worked for a start up company before completing a PhD and now work as a computer vision specialist for a technical consultancy. The Cambridge Computer Science course is highly regarded by employers and the strong theoretical grounding ensures that it remains relevant even though the technology is constantly changing.

    Mathematics

    Studying Maths at Cambridge is demanding, but very interesting. The first year of the course builds a solid foundation of knowledge, and then the many optional modules available in later years allow you to specialise in the topics you really enjoy. One of the main benefits of our shorter, fast paced terms is the amount of progress you make in such a short time. Jesus is one of the friendliest Colleges. It has a medium sized cohort, which means you get to interact with a huge variety of people while...

    Psychological and Behavioural Sciences

    The content of the Psychological and Behavioural Sciences Tripos has truly opened my eyes to the world and continues to deepen my understanding of the myriad of factors that influence everything from interpersonal interactions to widespread social issues that we face everyday. The multidisciplinary nature of the course provides many dimensions of knowledge that can help in any discussion you might find yourself in!
