Welcoming students at our 2026 Open Days

We held Open Days here on 9 – 10 July for prospective undergraduate students. 

School pupils currently in Year 12, and prospective mature applicants aged over 21, were able to come and look round the Department, attend a sample lecture, hear a presentation about our Computer Science degree course and chat to Directors of Studies in Computer Science about what it's like to study here.

Current students were on hand to chat and answer questions.

Each day also included presentations on the Computer Science degree course here at Cambridge, explaining what it covers in each year.

Plus, there was a sample lecture so prospective students could get a flavour of the lectures that undergraduates here attend.

We also streamed a series of short films about our second-year students' Group Design Projects, which they carried out during the spring (or 'Lent') term. And the team from Ada Computer Science (the free learning platform for computing teachers and students) were here.
