Master's welcome

Welcome to ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´; a seat of learning for over 500 years.

We are a diverse community made up of undergraduates, postgraduates, Fellows and staff, from many different backgrounds and from across the world. Over 1,000 people live and work in our beautiful site in the heart of Cambridge. Our ancient cloistered walkways, stunning gardens and new facilities offer a perfect mix of surroundings for students and academics to pursue individual and collective excellence.

It is an absolute delight to be the Master of ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´. Whether you are here to study, work, teach, research or to visit one of our many conferences, I am sure you will realise that it is a fantastic place to be. Not just because of the historic buildings but because this beautiful College is cemented together by an incredibly warm, lively, inclusive community. Everyone welcomed me, and I in turn would like to welcome you.

Our mission is to provide a caring, collegiate home that stimulates and supports intellectual curiosity and achievement. We want people, whatever their background, to realise their potential here and discover their sense of agency. From bright prospective applicants, to outstanding current students achieving excellent results, through to renowned academics leading award-winning multidisciplinary projects, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ is a place that nurtures, encourages and enriches.

Our community extends far beyond Cambridge. Many alumni, having gone on to make an impact on society, still remember their time at the College with great affection and see it as a transformative period in their lives. I am delighted that so many continue to give back with their time and talents and recognise the impact their philanthropy can have on future generations.

Please do take a look around, either on this website or by visiting us in person – ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ extends you a warm welcome.

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...

    ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and historical colleges at Cambridge! It is also, in my opinion, one of the most supportive colleges: from wellbeing to the porters there is always someone to ask for advice, support, or to talk through your stress. I chose Jesus for many reasons. Firstly, it’s right in the heart of the city centre which is amazing not only for that quick top-up shop but also to explore the beautiful city of Cambridge even while busy (it’s so easy to go for...

    I chose ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ because of the great mixture of undergraduates and postgraduates, and when I first visited I thought it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen! The sense of community in Jesus has had an enormous impact on my experience here. Whether you need help, advice, cheering up or even just a chat there is always someone there to put a smile on your face. From the MCR committee to the Porters, the canteen staff to the gardeners, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Jesus also...

    ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...
