Churchill is unique in its architecture, image, and outlook. We do Cambridge traditions differently, in the best way. Churchill feels like home.

Since Churchill College admitted our first students in the 1960s, our mission has been to address the challenges facing Britain and the world. Today this vision is more relevant than ever. Across arts, sciences, humanities, and technologies, our students are the future’s thinkers, urgently responding – dynamically, logically, and creatively – to great international issues, like sustainability, social justice, climate change, and global health.

Location and student life
Our community is diverse with a relaxed feel and achieves outstanding academic results. We're up the road from the University Library and the Sidgwick site (arts and humanities), and effectively next door to the West Cambridge Site where many science courses are based.
Churchill students are high-achieving, modest, and kind. They look out for one another, academically and socially, reflecting the fact that widening participation and inclusion are in our DNA. Undergraduates live and study alongside our many postgraduate students, working under the guidance of our large Fellowship of teachers, lecturers, professors, and researchers.
Churchill College’s attitude is forward-looking, outward-reaching, and can-do. Our focus is on excellence and ensuring that all our students feel welcomed and supported as they realise their potential.
