Hello and welcome to Peterhouse! My name is Sophie and I am the JCR President- a fancy term for the committee which represents the undergraduate body to college. My job is to represent your views to college and attend meetings with senior college staff in order to make college a nicer and happier place for everyone. Peterhouse is a lovely college, even if I do say so myself, but we are always wanting to progress and ensure that we continue to work on all areas to improve and become better for current and prospective students.

This website is written by the students of one college, and is intended to give you some useful information, as well as a small snapshot into Cambridge life. We’ve only scratched the surface of these topics, however, so here are some other excellent online resources from Cambridge University where you might like to continue your research:

The main Cambridge University undergraduate admissions website - start here.
An online copy of Cambridge University’s Official Prospectus 2020 (can also be ordered in paper form).
A complete list of all the Cambridge colleges, with links to their websites.
The official Peterhouse website, where you can find more specific information about what subjects can be studied at Peterhouse, admissions requirements and our outreach work.
An online copy of the Peterhouse Official Prospectus.
The wonderful people who organise Peterhouse applications, open days and access events are also on twitter! Check out Peterhouse's outreach twitter feed here; they’ll keep you posted on relevant competitions, cool further reading and all manner of other things to help you apply to university.
