Master's welcome

Welcome to Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ; a seat of learning for over 500 years.

We are a diverse community made up of undergraduates, postgraduates, Fellows and staff, from many different backgrounds and from across the world. Over 1,000 people live and work in our beautiful site in the heart of Cambridge. Our ancient cloistered walkways, stunning gardens and new facilities offer a perfect mix of surroundings for students and academics to pursue individual and collective excellence.

It is an absolute delight to be the Master of Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ. Whether you are here to study, work, teach, research or to visit one of our many conferences, I am sure you will realise that it is a fantastic place to be. Not just because of the historic buildings but because this beautiful College is cemented together by an incredibly warm, lively, inclusive community. Everyone welcomed me, and I in turn would like to welcome you.

Our mission is to provide a caring, collegiate home that stimulates and supports intellectual curiosity and achievement. We want people, whatever their background, to realise their potential here and discover their sense of agency. From bright prospective applicants, to outstanding current students achieving excellent results, through to renowned academics leading award-winning multidisciplinary projects, Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ is a place that nurtures, encourages and enriches.

Our community extends far beyond Cambridge. Many alumni, having gone on to make an impact on society, still remember their time at the College with great affection and see it as a transformative period in their lives. I am delighted that so many continue to give back with their time and talents and recognise the impact their philanthropy can have on future generations.

Please do take a look around, either on this website or by visiting us in person – Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ extends you a warm welcome.

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m 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...

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ. 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. Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ 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...

    Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and historical colleges at Cambridge! It is also, in my opinion, one of the most supportive colleges: from wellbeing to the porters there is always someone to ask for advice, support, or to talk through your stress. I chose Jesus for many reasons. Firstly, it’s right in the heart of the city centre which is amazing not only for that quick top-up shop but also to explore the beautiful city of Cambridge even while busy (it’s so easy to go for...

    Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ, my home. I am truly grateful to be able to call Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ my second home. It was my preferred option when I first applied for my MPhil and I could not be happier to still be here during my PhD! There are many reasons why Jesus stands out from the other colleges: from its fantastic facilities to its glorious formal dinners and to its wonderful café and brewery room. The Quincentenary Library is a lovely place to study. It has many spaces to choose from and everything...

    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...
