Jesus College Cambridge

Camp 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.

FAQs and Contact

How do Visas Work?
It's important to ensure you get the right visa for your summer school stay, which can typically be a tourist visa for short stays or you may need a student visa for longer stays. Your chosen summer school provider will support you with an acceptance letter.
How Does Insurance Work?
Many providers now provide educational travel insurance within their fees, so make sure to check this at the checkout (and if you need help, contact us!). In all circumstances make sure you have your own travel insurance cover as you normally would for trips abroad.
