About the event

The University of Cambridge undergraduate Open Days and events programme offers prospective students a comprehensive introduction to the University’s academic and collegiate life. These events provide a valuable opportunity to explore Cambridge’s distinctive learning environment, enabling visitors to gain a genuine sense of what it means to study at this internationally respected institution. Both in-person and online experiences are designed to ensure accessibility and insight for all applicants.

Throughout the Open Days, attendees can participate in a diverse range of activities, including subject presentations, departmental and college tours, masterclasses, and informative webinars. Visitors are able to engage directly with academic staff and current students, gaining detailed understanding of course content, teaching methods, and the support available throughout their studies.
