April 4, 2006 (Press Release) --
Christ's College began under the name of God's-House in 1437, and was officially founded by King Henry VI in 1448. In 1505 it was re-founded as Christ's College by the Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII.
The College is of medium size. The number of places for graduate students each year is limited because the College aims to house a high proportion of its members throughout their time in Cambridge. Some priority is given to those intending to pursue a research degree, and several Research Scholarships and Research Bursaries are offered each year. The College aims for a good balance between Arts and Sciences, as befits a College that includes Milton and Darwin among its many distinguished members.
Christ's College is a friendly, informal community, and relationships between senior and junior members are good. The main College buildings are arranged in four courts. The picturesque and beautiful First Court dates from the fifteenth century; it includes (apart from student rooms) the Master's Lodge, Hall, Chapel and Library. Next to the old library with its historic collections is a fine modern library, built in 1974; it is well stocked and a pleasant place in which to work. There is also a separate library for law students.
At the extreme end of the College is a striking modern building in New Court, which includes living accommodation and a theatre, squash courts, and other public rooms serving the whole College.
Accommodation
There are a substantial number of College-owned flats, which together with rooms in Graduate Hostels provide accommodation for most graduate students. Some single graduate students can be housed in College, where rooms are in the form of single study-bedrooms; there is no shared accommodation. The College currently has very little accommodation suitable for families with children, and early consultation and application is recommended for anyone in this situation.
Other facilities
The College has good sporting and other facilities. Postgraduates have their own large Common Room area, providing a reading room, TV, bar and other facilities. There is a flourishing Graduate Society, the activities of which are subsidised by the College.
Funding and fellowships
Members of the College may apply for a wide range of internal grants and travel awards.
