As a postgraduate student, you should wear the gown of the highest degree that you already hold and if you do not hold a degree from the University of Cambridge, it should be the undergraduate gown. There is some useful information on the SU or you can for advice.

The Â鶹ԭ´´ Students Union (JCSU) runs a wide range of clubs and societies which are open to all members of the College. Have a look at the list on the. If you think there's a society missing why not set it up?

You can buy a secondhand bike through the College from a student who is leaving. There are also a number of bicycle shops in Cambridge itself. Don't forget to buy a lock, lights, and a helmet too!

We have a range of single study bedrooms, as well as flats and houses for those with partners. All our accommodation is close to the main College site, with some houses backing onto College property.

Most single study bedrooms have shared bathroom facilities, although there are a small number of ensuite rooms available. All properties have well equipped kitchens and laundry facilities and are fitted with network points, though there's also good WiFi coverage across the College. Rooms are priced according to size and features, so larger rooms and ensuite accommodation will generally be more expensive.

Our accommodation for partners are one and two bedroom units and have a kitchen, shower room and laundry facilities. Our properties are not generally suitable for families with children. We would advise anyone coming to Cambridge with children to contact the College well in advance to discuss accommodation options. 

It's rare for undergraduates and postgraduates to share accommodation, we have properties set aside for each. There's a different process for room allocation, and different tenancy lengths.

Rooms inside the main College site are generally reserved for undergraduate students, especially first years. There are a range of shared houses close to the College that are offered to undergraduate or postgraduate students.

As our accommodation is generally occupied all year round, it's unfortunately not possible to arrange viewings of individual rooms. However you're most welcome to visit the College, no appointment is necessary. If you'd like someone to show you around, please contact the Middle Combination Room (MCR) when you know the date of your visit and they'll arrange for a current postgraduate student to be your guide. 

No. Our postgraduate students' ages have ranged from just 21 to over 60 and every age between.
