º£½ÇÉäÇø

Why this College?

Our students say the best things about º£½ÇÉäÇø are the mix of people, the relaxed atmosphere, and our location in the heart of Cambridge.

Our students

We admit around 145 undergraduates a year, across all subjects studied at the University, with roughly equal numbers in arts and sciences.

We welcome applicants from all types of school and background. Everyone is considered for admission as an individual on their own academic merit.

Our facilities

All our undergraduates are offered accommodation either in the main College buildings or in College owned houses just across the road, so all Jesus students live just a stone’s throw from the Porters’ Lodge.

The College grounds are spacious and tranquil, away from the main tourist routes but only five minutes’ walk from the city centre. We’re particularly proud of our award winning library. Our bar, cafe, and common room have all recently been refurbished. Unusually for a Cambridge College, our playing fields are also on the main site.

Our community

º£½ÇÉäÇø is a diverse, hard working community. Our students are encouraged to pursue their ambitions in all areas, leading to a good mix of academic excellence with music, sports, and the arts. 

Please come and see for yourself what makes º£½ÇÉäÇø so special, either by attending an open day or by making an informal visit.

    Reading Chemical Engineering at Jesus, I felt welcomed into a strong community of scientists and engineers, plus with a chemical engineering Fellow at the College, I received invaluable support for academic inspiration and career planning. The College also has thriving sports and social societies that are a very encouraging and motivational way to enjoy your hobbies as well as develop new skills. Chemical Engineering at Cambridge transforms your understanding of scientific and engineering principles, teaching you a breadth of knowledge in an environment that always challenges you to think beyond...

    Natural Sciences (Biological)

    I am a second year Natural Scientist at º£½ÇÉäÇø studying biochemistry, cell and developmental biology and chemistry. I was particularly drawn to this course as it offers a wide range of both physical and biological subjects, with the opportunity to increasingly specialise over the years. For me studying in this multidisciplinary environment has been hugely beneficial and will be a great advantage for later research. For Natural Science students, a lot of the contact time is at the University level. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to meet people...

    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...

    Mathematics

    I studied Maths at º£½ÇÉäÇø for four years as an undergraduate. I am now a PhD student in the doctoral training program at the Cambridge Centre for Analysis. I work in the area of partial differential equations, specifically those arising in kinetic theory. At Cambridge I was introduced to a wide variety of areas of Maths, many of which I hadn’t really known existed before coming to university. I found the course highly rewarding and always interesting. The course starts with a good grounding in the basics, leaving many...

    Geography

    Geography at Cambridge is a hugely diverse course, which allows you to obtain a wider grasp on the world. The knowledge and skills gained from topics within both human and physical geography can complement a huge range of jobs! My favourite topic so far has been the Earth, as I find Volcanology incredibly interesting, although Geopolitics has also caught my eye. Next term we’ll be carrying out a project on air quality, which will involve data collection and practical application of our statistics modules. When I visited Cambridge on an...
