Campus Summary

Jesus College, one of largest of the 31 autonomous colleges that make up the world-famous University of Cambridge, was founded in the 12th century and radiates history and tradition.

Its buildings are nothing short of magnificent and its grounds and sports fields are expansive. Although it’s located in the lively heart of the city of Cambridge and is just a five minute walk to the main tourist attractions, the campus is tucked away on a quiet side street, with its beautiful grounds giving it a feeling of tranquillity. Its impressive facilities include an award-winning library, a gym, tennis and basketball courts and an on-site cafe, fostering a friendly ‘student village’ feel.

Jesus College counts notable figures such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas Cranmer, and Prince Edward among its alumni.
