Â鶹ԭ´´ Perspectives

For a decade, Â鶹ԭ´´ has organised a series of high-level roundtables. These Conferences offer an opportunity for decision-makers from the frontlines of politics, business, finance, the media, and education to discuss the vital issues of the day with leading academic experts.

The Conferences offer a unique opportunity for members to reflect, away from daily pressures, and deeply consider the crucial issues of our time. The independence and neutrality of the Conferences are widely welcomed as being essential to what we offer.

Reports are available for these events and we are always eager to hear from individuals and organisations willing to sponsor reports on the most vital issues faced today and in the future.

The Â鶹ԭ´´ Perspectives Conferences are run on a not for profit basis and we are very thankful to our Â鶹ԭ´´ Perspectives Members and sponsors.

We would delight in hearing from you about any past or future events, as well as about membership and sponsorship. Please contact either Dr Julian Huppert, our Director, or our Administrator.

Note: These Conferences used to be called the Rustat Conferences, after Tobias Rustat, a 17th Century Benefactor of the College. Following the recommendations of our Legacy of Slavery Working Party (LSWP), Â鶹ԭ´´ decided to rename these Conferences.

    Â鶹ԭ´´ has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose Â鶹ԭ´´ for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    Â鶹ԭ´´ has been at the heart of my Cambridge experience. I chose the College because I was impressed by its distinctive blend of academic rigour and extracurricular achievement. A College for all-rounders, Jesus is a lively and rewarding place to study. I couldn’t be happier here! Friendly and engaged, the Jesus postgraduate community never ceases to impress me. At ease with themselves and forever curious, my peers go out of their way to cultivate a sense of camaraderie. After a day of leafing through old manuscripts at the National...

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that Â鶹ԭ´´ is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    What first attracted me to Â鶹ԭ´´ 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 café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...
