Discover Your Future at Churchill College’s Undergraduate Open Days

Open Days at Churchill College: 9 & 10 July 2026

During the University-wide Open Days on 9th and 10th July, Churchill will be open to give you a taste for how our students live, work, and spend their time – and how close everything is in practice.

All our facilities are located on site at our extensive 42 acre campus. This includes all our accommodation, libraries, study areas, social spaces, catering facilities and sports facilities. Academic work and everyday life sit alongside each other here, rather than competing for attention.

How to reach us

Churchill is just off Madingley Road, with easy access from the Park & Ride. Many Open Day visitors begin or end their day here, before or after visiting other Colleges or academic departments in the city centre.

What you can see and do:

  • See student accommodation and hear from current students
    Visit student rooms and/or go on a tour with one of our current students. You can ask them all about life as a Churchill student.
  • Visit libraries and study spaces
    Understand the range of environments available for academic work, from quiet study to collaborative spaces.
  • See key facilities
    Including sports fields, fitness spaces and the Bill Brown Creative Workshops, where students design and build alongside their studies.
  • Speak with admissions staff
    Ask questions about applications, and what to expect over the course of a degree.
  • Attend subject presentations
    Meet academic staff and learn how courses are taught at Cambridge. Details and timings of these presentations will be provided nearer the time.

Understanding Churchill

All Cambridge students follow the same academic courses through their University Departments. Visiting different Colleges will help you to see what daily life and living arrangements are like in different Colleges.

Visiting Churchill will help you to understand:

  • how living in a College which is on a single site, rather than split up around the city, can affect students’ experience;
  • how a large College can help students to make connections inside and outside their course;
  • and how the College’s structure and layout can support sustained academic work over time.

Churchill is designed to support serious academic work. It hosts spaces to think, people to think with, and an environment that supports students throughout their studies. Visiting will allow you to see how that works in practice – and whether it feels right for you.
