About the College

Homerton is the most recent College of the University, as well as one of the largest and most diverse, but we’ve been in Cambridge for well over 100 years.

At Homerton, we have a few long-established traditions, but as each new generation of students arrives we look with them at new ways of being an academic community; enhancing what’s already one of the liveliest and most vibrant places for living and learning in the University.

Homerton is a green oasis on the south side of the city, with spacious grounds through which all College members can roam (even walking on the grass!). Our buildings are a mixture of old and new, with a fine Victorian building at the College’s heart. Our study bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and all the necessary links that technology allows. Living in College is overwhelmingly popular, not just for the comfortable rooms, but for the full social and intellectual life that the College offers.

We have the usual facilities: a large library, a theatre, a dance studio, music rooms and, more unusually, sports grounds on-site. Our students take full advantage of these to play hard as well as work hard.

Homerton has always been an open and friendly place; a place to become what you want to be. Our students participate fully in the life of the College, either taking part in its decision-making through the Students’ Union, or enriching the local and wider society with their multitude of interests, skills and enthusiasms. As we develop we will stay a place where doors are open, where nobody is too grand to talk to you, and where each student can develop their full potential in supportive - and beautiful - surroundings.
