This free programme is aimed at school groups of academically high-performing students who are interested in finding out more about progressing to Cambridge or other leading universities. Booking is not open to individuals.
The visit days are multi-school in-person events for pupils and teachers to meet current undergraduates, hear from our Admissions team about applying, take part in an activity, and enjoy a lunch in College.
We run separate days for Year 11 students and Year 12 students. Priority is given to schools and colleges from the maintained sector and those from outside London and the south-east.
Our next visit days are Tuesday 24 and Thursday 26 November 2026.
