Homerton College

Homerton is the newest College, as well as being one of the largest and most diverse. We have 250 years of history behind us, but our approach to learning is fresh and purposeful, and committed to supporting students in today’s world.

Our innovative co-curricular programme, Homerton Changemakers, helps our students to plan for their futures and achieve their goals. Each new generation of students helps build our community, enhancing what is already one of the most vibrant, open and inclusive places for living and learning in the University.

Homerton is on the south side of Cambridge, with an orchard, lawns, conservation area, and generous green spaces to walk in. Our buildings mix old and new, with a fine Victorian building and a superb new dining hall and café at the College’s heart. Living in College is extremely popular and all undergraduates can be accommodated on site for at least three years of their studies. Most of our study bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, and all have wifi. We have a large, modern and well-stocked library, an excellent gym, an atmospheric College bar, a theatre, music rooms, and a fitness studio. We also have exceptional flood-lit astroturf sports facilities close to the College. Our students take full advantage of our facilities to work hard and enjoy themselves.

Homerton has always been a welcoming place; somewhere to become who you want to be, whatever your interests and wherever you come from. Our students participate fully in the life of the College, taking part in our decision-making through the Students’ Union. Our friendly Directors of Studies, Tutors and staff provide extensive support for our students, and we also have our own nurse, counsellor and wellbeing coordinator. We’re an evolving community, committed to remaining a place where doors are open, where nobody’s too grand to talk to you, and where each student can develop their full potential in supportive and beautiful surroundings.
