Off Campus Housing

Although many full-time postgraduate students are housed by their Colleges (either within the College grounds or in postgraduate hostels or flats), few Colleges can house all their student members. There can be a strong demand for suitable private rented accommodation in Cambridge but the Accommodation Service is available to offer friendly and helpful advice on housing.

The Accommodation Service helps to relocate families from across the world, and can provide information on living in Cambridge and assist with school information and applications, and details about local facilities, sports and libraries.

For more information, visit the Accommodation Services website.

Career Planning

As a postgraduate student at Cambridge, you will be entitled to use the University Careers Service from the moment you arrive, throughout your research studies, and after you've graduated. If you do not have a clear idea what to do after your studies - or too many ideas - the team of Careers Advisers can help you think through your options, explore ideas, and find and the future that is right for you.

There is plenty of help available to take you to the next step; one to one guidance consultations; an extensive programme of briefings and skill sessions; 14 major careers events each year; coordinated employer presentations; a free book on CVs and Applications; and a database of over 4,00 graduate level job vacancies, covering a wide range of sectors.

Sports

Sport at Cambridge is supported by our world-class facilities. Opened in 2013, the University Sports Centre has a fitness suite, sports hall, squash and fives courts, studios and team training room used by international performance athletes. The Sports Service also maintains dedicated athletics and hockey facilities at Wilberforce Road Sports Ground, while cricket and tennis have their home at Fenner's, one of the country's most historic and iconic sports venues. A range of other club and college grounds are available across the city, catering to rugby, rowing, and many other sports besides.

Clubs

With over 700 clubs and societies to choose from, you'll be sure to find a group to match your interests and add to your student experience.

There are clubs and societies dedicated to programs, religions, sports, and more. For a full list of the available clubs and societies, check out the Societies Directory.

Special Services

The transition to university study and living away from home can be a big change for many of our students. If you need a bit of extra support while at the University, whether that's with your academic work or personal issues, we have an extensive welfare system in place.

We provide assistance with student wellbeing, whether that's physical or mental aid, the Disability Resource Centre, or the University Counselling Service.
