Open Days University of Cambridge

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE OPEN DAYS

The Universify of Cambridge hosts two large Open Days every year.   These are the large scale central events offered by the Admissions Office and up to 15,000 students attend over the two days.    All the departments and faculties are open for students to visit, and talks take place all across the University. 

This year the University Open Days will take place on 1 and 2 July 2010

Please note this is not a two day event - Day 2 is a repeat of Day 1.    

The online booking form will be available in April 2009 at  http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/opendays/cambridge/index.html. 

If you would also like to try and visit a college on the same day please see the list below under COLLEGE OPEN DAYS of which colleges have open events on at the same time. 

DEPARTMENT (e.g. subject/course specific) OPEN DAYS

Department open days focus on the specific course or courses in a faculty or department, and the main dates for all department open days are 2 and 3 July 2009 e.g. during the large University of Cambridge Open Days.

You'll meet some of the lecturers and see the libraries and other facilities. The staff and students may well be able to answer broader questions about life at Cambridge, but if you would like to see other places in Cambridge on the same day check the timetable when you book.

Please contact the department directly for details and booking information

Outside of 2 and 3 July, a small number of department hold additional events where Year 12 students can visit and find out more. They run from March 2010.

COLLEGE OPEN DAYS

At Cambridge, students are admitted by one of the Colleges rather than a department, therefore College open days give you the opportunity to pick up a wide range of useful information. The Admissions Tutor will introduce the College and you'll be shown around the grounds and facilities, probably by some of the students. On the full day programmes you'll have lunch in the College hall or buttery.    Directors of Studies will discuss in detail the University's courses and the College supervision system. They'll also outline any specific admissions requirements their College might have.

A visit to a particular College does not commit you to applying to that College: you can attend whichever open day is convenient for you and apply to any College afterwards. Booking is essential (unless specified), as there are limits on numbers. Please contact the College directly for details and booking requirements.

As well as holding visiting events in July 2009, many colleges have their own additional open days which run from March 2010 until September 2010.
