Natural Sciences Taster Day

The Christ's College Natural Sciences Taster Day is an annual event giving participants opportunity to explore what it is like to study Natural Sciences at Christ's and Cambridge. The day includes talks, Q&As and sample academic sessions from our Natural Sciences academics and current students at Christ's, and provides the opportunity to explore the college of Charles Darwin (amongst others)!

The event takes place on Wednesday 18 March 2026 with places available both in person and online - you do not need to travel to Cambridge in order to attend!  Please see full event details including an outline of the day, who is eligible, and in person vs online information over on the event webpage. Applications received by 9am on 20 February will be equally considered. Applications received after this deadline will be considered on a first-come first-served basis where spaces remain.

You can indicate if you would prefer an in-person or online place when you apply. Everyone who meets the core eligibility criteria will receive an online place. In-person places will be prioritised for those who meet additional priority criteria outlined in How to Apply on this page. In either case, you may need to miss a day of school to attend. Attendance is live only - no recordings are provided.

Students who are in local authority care, or eligible for government-funded free school meals are eligible to financial support with travel costs to Cambridge if they wish to attend in person.
