We're delighted to be able to offer some basic Christ's College tours for students who are planning to apply in Sept/Oct 2022 and can get to Cambridge. We emphasise that this is a nice thing rather than an essential thing - if you can't make it or don't get a place on the tours don't worry as you can also do a self-guided visit at other times (essential to read the page if doing that), and the main source of actual information remains our regular webinar (Christ's College: A look at the Grounds and Facilities) and our Grounds and Facilities pages: these two online resources contain much more that you will see on in-person tours and visits.

If you are interested in having a tour of Christ's, please read this page carefully to avoid disappointment. Due to Covid-19 infection rates across the country, these small group tours will be booked and run in a very precise way and we thank you in advance for your understanding. If you get a place on one of the tours, you will receive detailed attendance instructions in an email. Despite a few more instructions than we'd normally give (!) on the day we can reassure you that the tours should be fairly straightforward and we are very much looking forward to finally meeting some of you in person.

What will I see on a Christ's tour?

Exact tours may vary slightly but each will last around 40 minutes and show the College grounds as far as possible and a small number of the larger inside spaces. We are keen to be clear in advance that the tours will not include smaller spaces such as accommodation rooms - sorry about that!

 

Eligibility: Who can book a place on a tour?

As places are limited, these tours are for students only and participants must meet the following criteria:

  • You are a prospective student considering an application to Cambridge in Sept/October 2022 (for Oct 23 or deferred Oct 24 entry).
  • You will be applying for any Cambridge undergraduate course except Veterinary Medicine. If you want to check the courses at Christ's, they are here.
  • You have your own email address and can use it when completing the booking form (please do not use a parent or guardian's email address)

Some notes for those who are not eligible:

Booking will open for each tour at the date and time specified in the table below (normally the week before). At the given time, the booking link in the table will start working - you may need to refresh the page if you open it too early, as before booking opens it will say 'the survey is not currently active'. Once booking has opened, places on the tours will be allocated on a first come, first served basis until all tour places have been allocated. The form will confirm whether you have been successful in getting one of the places or not. Then see:

 

January 2022 update

Our next tours will be part of our forthcoming open day for students considering an application in Sept/Oct 2022 - do sign up for that if you're looking in January / early Feb.

After the open day, further tours will be scheduled from late February 2022 for students applying in Sept/Oct 2022. Dates and booking forms will start to become available in February.
