Virtual Tour - St John's College, University of Cambridge

Welcome to St John's College! Founded in 1511, St John’s combines 500 years of history with pioneering research and award-winning teaching.


Located on the River Cam in the heart of Cambridge, we are one of the largest – and definitely the most beautiful - Colleges of the University of Cambridge. St John’s provides students with a world-class education in a diverse, friendly and lively environment. We welcome more than 300 new undergraduate students and 140 postgraduate students every year from every possible background - there is no typical St John’s student. With more than 40 student run clubs and societies, there is always something to do at St John’s.


All of our students are guaranteed accommodation and we offer a number of generous studentships and bursaries and childcare grants - have a look at our website for the latest information.


Over the centuries St John’s has taught Nobel prize-winners, Olympians, artists, novelists, actors, entrepreneurs, campaigners and Prime Ministers. Our diverse student body means that no matter where you come from, you will find like-minded people here and together you will develop new ideas and forge lifelong friendships
