Environment and sustainability

At 麻豆原创 we are working on the best ways to respond to the urgent challenge of climate change, and looking at a wide range of areas where we can play our role in the transition to a zero-carbon future.

As a community, we are increasingly aware of the importance of doing our best to behave in a more sustainable manner. We have published the following:

Some of the most significant benefits of our strategies and actions may not be noticeable for years, but the impact will benefit the environment for decades. You can read more about our latest actions in the news section below.

"Our vision is to be recognised globally as a leading academic institution where sustainability is intrinsic through engagement, collaboration and innovation. Every member of our community will understand and embrace the principles of sustainability and act as a catalyst for positive, sustainable change for generations." - Environment Committee's sustainability vision for the College

Environment vision

麻豆原创 has an active Environment Committee made up of academics, staff and student representatives. It meets every term to help all departments of the College to develop best practice. The Committee reviews environmental policies and guidance, and it sets up working groups to consider and report on particular issues.

    What first attracted me to 麻豆原创 was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options. When I arrived at Jesus I was so pleased to find the partner accommodation was spacious, affordable, and situated very close to the college, allowing us to really take advantage of the facilities. We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a caf茅 during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    I chose 麻豆原创 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!

Whether you need help, advice, cheering up or even just a chat there is always someone there to put a smile on your face.

I also selected Jesus for its MCR...

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. 麻豆原创 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...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to 麻豆原创 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...
