Finding the right hub and how to get there
The University’s Faculties/ Departments and the Colleges are situated across Cambridge therefore we are providing four registration hubs across the city. You only need to visit one registration hub and we recommend you visit the hub closest to your Faculty or Department of interest.
Each Faculty/ Department will be hosting an exhibition stand at one of the hubs, this will provide you with the opportunity to speak to staff and students, to learn more about your course of interest and in the afternoon attend department specific activities.
Please note that parking facilities in the town centre are limited.
