College Open Days

Attending an Open Day is one of the best ways to get a feel for the College and learn about life studying and socialising here. Our Open Days are relaxed, friendly and helpful: you’ll meet some of our current students and staff, and hear directly about what it’s like to be at Newnham and Cambridge.

Please note that as Newnham is a women’s college, our events are aimed at prospective female students. 

University Open Day - 13 September 2024

In addition to Open Days in July, Newnham will be open to prospective applicants on 13 September. We will be offering tours of College and the chance to meet our current students and ask questions of our Admissions Team. 

In order to attend the Open Days please register in advance on the University website.

University Open Days - 10 and 11 July 2025

The University of Cambridge will be hosting in-person Open Days in July 2025. There will also be a series of webinars prior to the visit days to provide more information on the application process, student finance and choosing a College. The July Open Days are aimed at prospective applicants in Year 12 or 13 (or equivalent) and prospective mature applicants (aged 21 or over), together with any parents or supporters. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore our University and Colleges and get an insight into what it is like to be a student at the University of Cambridge.
