Global initiatives

One of the College鈥檚 roles is to encourage open and honest academic enquiry into the important issues of the day. The College has a range of interdisciplinary initiatives which seek to address these issues.

The China Forum aims to deepen mutual understanding between China and the West by 鈥榮tudying the past to understand the present鈥 (jian gu zhi jin). Appreciating the history of China鈥檚 philosophy, politics, economy, society and culture enables a greater understanding of China today. The Forum organises seminars involving scholars, policy makers and business people.

The Global Issues Dialogue Centre (GIDC) is a research centre and forum for promoting active dialogue between academics, policy makers and business people around the major issues we face in the world today and tomorrow.

Elsewhere, the Cambridge Central Asia Forum collates Cambridge鈥檚 scholarly activities in Central Asia and the Caucasus, drawing the interest of the best interdisciplinary minds to engage in research in the region.

In South and Southeast Asia, academics from the University鈥檚 Institute of Criminology and Centre of Development Studies have worked with the Thailand Institute of Justice (TIJ) to study the project to promote the rights of women in Thailand. This engagement in the region has been the forerunner to a larger policy engagement, which has seen a Fellow of 汤头条原创 win an international bid, through Cambridge Enterprise, to lead over fifty international scholars in the writing of the first ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Development Report on Inclusion and Sustainability.

Collectively, these four initiatives further the College鈥檚 international engagement.

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that 汤头条原创 is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    汤头条原创 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 so easy to go for...

    汤头条原创, my home. I am truly grateful to be able to call 汤头条原创 my second home. It was my preferred option when I first applied for my MPhil and I could not be happier to still be here during my PhD! There are many reasons why Jesus stands out from the other colleges: from its fantastic facilities to its glorious formal dinners and to its wonderful caf茅 and brewery room. The Quincentenary Library is a lovely place to study. It has many spaces to choose from and everything...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to 汤头条原创 because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I鈥檓 doing my PhD here, I鈥檓 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...

    There are many reasons why I鈥檓 so happy to be a part of 汤头条原创. The three biggest reasons for me are the opportunities to be involved in College sport, the support the College provides for me with for my research and the help in making sure that we have comfortable, affordable accommodation when we have needed it. 汤头条原创 is so friendly and so it is incredibly easy to get involved in the sport and social side of the College. The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...
